[comp.graphics] Cheap color hard copies

mink@cfa.UUCP (05/14/87)

I'm looking for inexpensive but good ways to make slides from an 8-bit deep
AED 767 terminal (575x767).  I've used a Beseler 4500 film recorder which
worked fairly well at the terminal's slowest scan rate.  Their new 4600
series can deal with the 24 kHz line rate for somewhere around $4000.  We
also have several microVAX II/GPX's with a line rate of ~54 kHz which none
of the Beseler models can handle.  I've heard that there are now several
digital cameras for under $10K but haven't been able to ferret out any
specifics.  Does anyone know of such devices or have good experiences with
any other cheap film recorders?  A color printer which can deal with gray
levels would be acceptable.
