The CJ-10: Canon's triple threat

Article Abstract:

The $6,995 Canon CJ-10 Color Laser Copier is actually a photocopier, scanner and printer compatible with a Macintosh, a Windows PC or a NeXT workstation. As a copier, the CJ-10 reproduces color well except for thick black areas. It produces passable copies on plain paper and excellent transparencies. Users can buy the Intelligent Processing Unit (EPU) for computer interface. As a scanner,the CJ-10 provides good color capture and a good interface for Mac and Windows. The NeXT requires a separate interface. Using gamma correction options requires some practice. The CJ-10 prints at 400 dots-per-inch (dpi), as opposed to 360 dpi for smaller Canon printers. The printer can run locally or on a network with a host and print server computer recommended. The CJ-10 can also print from an external video source with an additional attachment. The Canon system is easy to understand, use and set up.

Talkin' 'bout acceleration: new graphics chips for PCs will move a lot of color data to your screen in a hurry

Article Abstract:

A powerful new generation of graphics chips is emerging that provides the performance required for 24-bit and 32-bit true-color image generation and the use of powerful operating systems on Intel-based IBM PC-type microcomputers. Such chips can rapidly transfer color data to display screens as well as quickly open, close and move windows. Several example chips are briefly described. These include the AGX015 from Integrated Information Technology, the W32 and W32i from Teng Labs, ATI Technologies' Mach32 and Mach32-AX, a new MGA-compliant device from Matrox Electronic Systems, S3 Inc's 928 and 928PCI graphics chips and SuperMac Technology's SMT and SQD true-color chip set. When buying graphics boards based on such chips, be sure to determine the maximum non-interlaced resolution that can display true color and at what refresh rate.

Field publishing

Article Abstract:

Future field desktop publishers will do more of their work at the customer's worksite and be able to meet customer needs more quickly with improving notebook computers and displays. With the advent of ferroelectric flat panel displays and other display technology, publishers will be able to leave their high quality graphics monitors in customers' offices. This frees a large portion of the notebook computer's power supply. New on-site computing options involve monitors that are accessed with or without a cord and may have automatic switches that are activated simply by walking up to the screen. Notebook computers allow publishers to bring along their favorite programs or operating systems and their most pertinent stored information. While on location, these notebooks may be connected to the client's LAN with a cellular modem.
