I have heard of the existentence of two software products: "Freedom of Press" and "Professional Output Manager" that run on a Mac and can image color PostScript files on a variety of film recorders (Lasergraphics, Montage). Does anyone have experience with these products? Besides the accuracy of the output, I'm interested in performance (how long does it take) and ease of use. To be specific: Suppose I have created a presentation consisting of twenty slides in Microsoft PowerPoint. I know that when I fill in e.g. "page 2 to 2" in the LaserWriter print dialog box and type Command-K during printing, I get a PostScript file of the second slide. But do I have to do this 20 times to generate 20 different PostScript files, or will these packages (FOP & POM) accept a PostScript file that contains all 20 slides?

Besides the You might also want to look at the AGFA Matrix film recorders which now are available with an AGFA color RIP for PostScript.
