The Magic(TM) video digitizer from New Image Technology (10300 Greenbelt Road,
Seabrook, Maryland 20706, (301) 464-3100) is now available with new software
(if you already have a Magic digitizer, you can get a software upgrade) that
supports higher resolution images -- specifically, 432 x 640 pixels with up
to 256 gray levels per pixel.  These images print out beautifully on a Laser-
Writer or other PostScript printer.  Output is either PostScript or Aldus
Tag Image File Format (TIFF), which can be Placed by Version 2.0 of PageMaker.

New Image Technology will soon be announcing (you can tell them I spilled the
beans) a 300 DPI scanner that can scan 8-1/2 x 11 pages for less than $1500.
(It uses a Canon scanner, and interfaces to the SCSI port on a MacPlus.)
Scan modes are 2-value (black/white only) or dithered halftone.  I've
successfully Placed the output into PageMaker, and the results are quite
nice.

            so I am not an impartial observer.  However, I do not receive
            any royalties or commissions on sales.
