We're looking into the possibility of purchasing a new PostScript printer. We are considering Sun's SPARCprinter because of its advertised ppm and low cost. Were looking for evaluations from sites that have purchased the printer and have been using it for a while. o Do the printer+workstation really do 12 ppm consistantly even on complicated PostScript? (I saw this claim in an article.) o Have you found that the system is able to handle most PostScript that you've thrown at it? o Is the SparcStation printer host overly weighed down by performing the raster-image processing? Is it very noticeable to a user working on the workstation? o Have you had any h/w problems with the SPARCprinter itself? Is it noisy? o In general, would you recommend the system? Why or why not? I'll summarize if I get enough data. Thanks, Joe Habermann haberman@msi.umn.edu
