We are considering bringing a tabloid (11"x17"!!) publication "inside" and producing camera ready copy (except for pictures) using several Mac-based systems with final output to a Lino 300 (out-of-house). Questions... 1. Does anyone know of a proof printer (300dpi) which can handle 11x17 paper and which will be compatible with a Mac-based network (and doesn't cost a fortune)? (These may be incompatible requests.) 2. Does anyone have experience with the very large monitors for the MAC (like the Viking 2400, a 24" monitor, 72dpi, 1280x960)? The pub. editor wants to see two tabloid page side by side. Can PageMaker or Quark Express (the candidates for this job) compress larger pages to make two-up fit on one of these kinds of screens? If yes, are they at all readable? Any help will be MOST appreciated!
