NeXT's second wave: new models easily outdo the original cube

Article Abstract:

The color capabilities of Next Inc's (Redwood City, CA) new $7,995-plus NeXTstation Color and $3,995 32-bit NeXTdimension video display board combine with the sound and video capabilities of NeXT workstation technology to provide an excellent host for color multimedia applications. The new color capabilities include Adobe Display PostScript which produces the closest equivalence between color display and printer output. NeXT's multitasking implementation of UNIX facilitates color use, as the operating system can support simultaneous windows with three different graphic modes. The NeXT dimension can handle both 32-bit color and display of real-time video. Specifications and applications of the new color hardware are discussed. NeXT also introduced the $4,995 monochrome NeXTstation and $7,995 monochrome NeXTcube. The color products are expected to ship early 1991.

Digital presses

Article Abstract:

Xeikon's DCP/32D digital press system combines ganged printing drum and web-fed press technology to provide duplex print speeds of 35 ppm, 600-dpi press images and ten separate drums for color imaging. AGFA's $360,000 Chromapress imagesetter uses the same press engine as Xeikon's DCP/32D but is the only digital press to provide a Power Mac-based front end for workflow administration. The Chromapress' innovative developer and micro-toner reduces overall consumption by as much as 20% while maintaining print quality. IBM Printing Systems' $369,000 InfoColor 70 also uses the Xeikon DCP/32D's printing engine, but the company has added proprietary enhancements in the areas of networking support, service, hardware, software and temperature control.
