What is this Alchemy driver? We are considering a Pain(t)jet XL300 or
a Deskjet 1200C, but have yet to find a fast way of printing TGA's.
We are stuck with loading Windows, then Photoshop, then wait, wait,
while Photoshop processes, then wait, wait, while our demo Paintjet
XL 300 prints… It also looks like we might have a 650 on the
network sometime soon.
I am certain that we want some form of ink-jet printer for small
stuff, but really don't know how to get output at a decent speed. My
recently deceased Tektronix ink-jet came with a Targa file output
utility that used EMS and really got the images out fast. Cannon
has a new series of "dumb" ink-jets that have higher resolution than
the HP's. I wonder if a "dumb" printer might be a faster way of
printing raster images than a PCL page printer… Any thoughts?
