We at NCAR are looking for a color hardcopy device for our graphic
output with the following qualities:
- At least 500 X 500 resolution
- Speed: less than a minute for a page would be nice
- Reliability: frequent breakdowns don't go.
- Cost: preferably under $10K, but if you know of one for more
that is really good, please pass the info on anyway.
Currently we have a couple of Tektronics 4107 terminals with attached plotters.
They (the plotters) are simply unacceptable, since (1) they take 10 minutes
to make a copy of the screen, and (2) they are incredibly flakey, breaking
down 2-3 times per week.
Many thanks for any info you could provide.

Make sure you get one that matches your video frame rate etc.
