I'm not sure if this is the proper group for this question, but here
goes:

A few friends of mine are starting a printing company.  They would like
to use a MacIIcx-based DTP system to do their layout, but it is far too
expensive an option.  Therefore, they decided to go with a 386 or
386sx box.  They want to use the beastie only for layout.  They will
then print the results on a laserprinter (any inexpensive
recommendations there ???) and photograph the result to burn plates to
run the high-speed press.  

Has anyone tried this before?  If so (even if you have not DONE it), could 
you pass on your experiences/recommendations for a decent system to
purchase?

Please send your replies to me and I'll summarize to the net.  Thanks...


Chris
