good evening - - --
a late follow-up on this discussion of Phaser 7700 & Okidata 9500
printers:
The Xante CL30 printer was also mentioned.
The Xante model with the best color control however, is the Xante
ColourLaser Pro:
-real Adobe level 3 RIP
-clear controls for managing color on host or printer (there's no
question about whether you're getting unwanted extra color management
when sending targets or files that have already been converted for
output)
-I think it still comes with a basic version a third-party profile
creation application. (I use Eye-One Match)
-auto duplexing up to 11x17 inch sheets, will manual duplex up to 13x19
-has drivers for OS X that function fine, though not yet written to be
a registered device in ColorSync Utility. This is not really needed for
PostScript-producing applications, but a much better arrangement for
the non-PostScript applications that one inevitably also uses, and of
course, one wants the color right there, too. Are you listening, Xante?
-the originating manufacturer is Hitachi, Xante adds a controller
board, software, & manuals, & support.
-print quality better than most xerographic printers, though not
without some of the typical xerographic challenges
(I don't sell Xante, but have been using them for a while now.)
hope this helps

As it turns out, the Okidata 9500 *is* a true blue genuine Adobe CPSI
PostScript 3 RIP!!! And in view of the wealth of color management
options, I
just want the good folks of the list know that this seems lie the
ticker for
my university graphic design lab.
Way to go Okidata -- thank you for freeing us from the Xerox/Fiery
tyranny.
Really, about the only missing the Oki 9500 ICC implementation is
"proof
printing" and Black Point Compensation. Unless I missed that too?
