The company I work for is considering upgrading thier Linotronic hardware. They currently have a Linotronic L300/RIP-1 combination and are considering one of the following two options: 1) Dump the L300/RIP-1 system and purchase the L200P 2) Keep the L300 imagesetter and upgrade to a RIP-2 I personally feel the L300/RIP-2 combination would be the better choice because of the greater capabilities in handling complex documents in addition to having higher resolutions. I am pitted against a salesman who believes anything new (L200P) must be the greatest thing to date. The L200P is twice as fast as our current hardware, but would it be better than a L300/RIP-2 system? Thanks in advance! Jim
