I am really puzzled by the article in Publish! and the comments here on the LaserMaster 1000 and LX6 turbo res products. I am puzzled by the Publish! article because I have used the both the LX6 turbo res 800×800, 600×600 and the LM 1000 (because I am a dealer) and the output just doesn't look like it does in Publish!? It is really good output and I agree the article in Publish! makes it look pretty bad! ——I am puzzled by the comments here as everyone seems pretty quick to jump on LaserMaster w/o finding out first whether the Publish! article is truly representative. Anyone who has used an LM 1000 or LX6 board, even w/o the turbo res, knows the output looks a heck of lot better than what is in Publish! Why don't you just contact LM for some actual samples of turbo res output or contact a dealer for samples. The real stuff sure doesn't look like the Publish! article. Also, I don't think you can blame LM for the Publish! article. LM doesn't own the magazine and they sure don't have editorial approval over what and how things appear in Publish! ——- — bob

Bob, Thanks for letting us know what your experience with LaserMaster has been. I'm sure we'd all like to believe that 1000 dpi is here today and looks as good as it sounds, but that Publish! page sure didn't prove it. BTW, have you seen any printed samples of LM's hi-rez stuff? Not laser printed, but rather offset printed from laser output. Could that even remotely explain the poor quality of what we saw in Publish? <BW>
