The QMS Colorscript (I think that's the name) was the first color
Postscript laser printer available. I have some print samples and I
think they look nice. I believe the new LaserWriter drivers are
meant to make printing to this and other color printers possible
without any special drivers. Since it is a Postscript printer it
should not have a problem with Illustrator documents (I don't know
for sure). The price is commensurate with the fact that it is color
and Postscript. It is thermal transfer and so I believe it can make
transparencies. You can probably get info by calling 800 info
(ie 1 800 555 1212) and asking for QMS. They also advertise in
Macworld once in a while.

Disclaimer: I am a recent QMS stockholder. I like their new products.
