Color Printers for SGI's

[Brent Bates ViGYAN AAD/TAB]

  Neither of the machines I mentioned are PostScript machines.
The Tektronics takes bitmapped images as either color mapped or RGB values.
The printer has its own intenal way of doing the dithering and has several
options for gamma correction.  As I said we are very pleased with the results.
We rarely use it for lines drawings, most are shaded images.  All images are
a screen type dump, so they are bitmapped images.
  I don't know what the internal format of the Kodak unit is, but, the images
I saw looked so good you would think they were photos.
