However, I'm sure most of them don't. I guess the problem is they aren't moving ahead fast enough. Currently I work will an Output service. We run all Macs and people bring us files to be printed onto a Linotronic. From there, the client will bring the lino to his/her printer. For handling jobs, we can output ANY postscript file, or most of the major DTP programs like PM (Mac & IBM), Quark, and RSG, and others i'm not aware of. If we dont already have the appropriate program, the client will bring it to us on disk. In the future you'll be sure to find more such output services. It's a good market that hasn't been completely tapped yet. ._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._.._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._.
