IBM just introduced the Infoprint 1312 laser printer. This new printer is designed like all IBM models as a true workhorse, with a rated speed of 20 pages per minute. It has a native resolution of 600 dpi (with "1200 dpi enhancement"), so the quality is great. And the per-page cost is as low as 0.022 cents (toner costs). It is not a duplexing printer, though. PCL 6, Postscript 3, and PPDS printer data streams are all supported, so it'll work great with your eComStation and OS/2 Warp systems. Includes both USB and parallel ports. All yours for $289 direct from IBM's web site ( http://www.printers.ibm.com ). Not the lowest priced laser printer I've mentioned, but the consumables cost is very low, and it is a speedy machine. Now, if that's not fast enough, you could always spring for the IBM Infoprint Color 130 enterprise printer. We'll return your phone call if you have a half million dollars to spend on that serious equipment. It's the sort of printer that accepts raw logs at one end and spits out glossy Vogue magazines at the other, complete with perfume samples. (OK, I'm exaggerating a little, but it does manage up to 138 color impressions per minute. That HP LaserJet 2500L I mentioned before is only 35 times slower.) And, before you ask, yes, the Infoprint Color 130 should work fine with eComStation. Your PC, however, may not be able to feed it fast enough, so we require an AIX server or mainframe to do that (and to process the Postscript from your PC). Naturally the AIX server or mainframe costs extra. Price also does not include the reinforced floor you'll need to support the 3,000+ pounds this printer weighs, nor does it include the mandatory 240 volt power circuit (like your electric clothes dryer) or climate control system. Supplies extra, too, although we might throw in enough paper to run for 30 seconds, but only if you order today. This mega-printer takes "Toner version 3," would you believe. Even the toner gets a version number. Timothy F. Sipples __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? The New Yahoo! Search - Faster. Easier.
