Can anybody steer me toward vendors of screen printers? I need something that can faithfully reproduce a 256 gray level image at a resolution of 512x512. Since a full 256 gray levels isn't really necessary for production of a good monochrome image, that criterion can be reduced to, let's say 64 gray shades. I'd like the image produced to be full paper size - 8.5x11. From what I've heard, machines of this sort run $10k and up. I am aware of the cheap printers from Mitsubishi (I think) that provide ok images but are not good enough. I've also heard about machines that work with Polaroid and 35mm cameras, but I need a direct hard-copy for archival purposes. Any suggestions? Price is not a problem, quality is. Thanks in advance...

It will do 256 gray levels and up to 2048x2048 resolution, and will zoom a 512x512 up to fill the frame if requested. We have used their machine and find it to be quite good. It has IEEE-488 or Centronix interfaces, and comes with C compatible driver libraries. Contact Vladimir Nuta at (617) 444-9011 and tell him John sent you. ------------------------------------------------------------------------

Has a variety of adapters for various video feeds, etc. Ours came from Ted Sowinski, CAM Corporation, Birmingham(?), Mich (313 area code).
