This note follows up on some earlier discussions on this mailing list
regarding image hardcopy devices..
 
The recent issue of the Advanced Imaging magazine has an ad
from Fargo Electronics (800-327-4622)
for a **dye sublimation** cum **wax thermal** 600x300dpi color
printer that sells for $1549 (educational price)...
 
Seems rather attractive compared to the printers we have from Kodak ($10 - 40K).
 
The reason why this printer is so cheap is because it does not have
any memory or processor.. it relies on the host machine (mac/pc/workstation)
to do the work... For someone who is not printing images all day (includes
myself!), it may be ok to wait 9-12 minutes for a printout.
 
Does anyone have any experience with this product?
