This software and hardware combination produces high resolution output from any NEXTSTEP publishing application without the need for a stand-alone Raster Image Processor (RIP). eXTRASET's high speed and ease- of-use make it the perfect addition to NEXTSTEP-based technical documentation departments. Goldleaf will demonstrate eXTRASET and the Goldleaf Imagesetter in Booth 628 at NeXTWORLD Expo in San Francisco, May 25-27. Outputting to eXTRASET is as easy as printing to a laser printer. eXTRASET supports resolutions from 600 to 3000 dpi and is easily accessed through the Print panel of any application that can print. Set your line screens, spot color separations and other film specifications with eXTRASET or in the application you are using. eXTRASET fully supports NEXTSTEP's built-in Display PostScript Level 2, giving users high resolution output in a minimum amount of time. Service bureaus, print shops and in-house publishing departments can use eXTRASET and the Goldleaf Imagesetter to decrease overhead and increase throughput. Users can run all black-and-white spot color jobs on the eXTRASET System and free up their high-end imagesetters for complex color work. By having an in-house eXTRASET System, users are allowed greater freedom to carry out last minute revisions, thus giving them strong time and cost advantages over companies who rely soley on outside vendors. The Goldleaf Imagesetter is based on an ULTRE engine, and color systems feature the Color Quality Registration Option (CQR) for extremely accurate registration. The Goldleaf Imagesetter connects directly to your computer's SCSI port. This eliminates the need to purchase a separate, stand-alone raster image processor (RIP), saving thousands of dollars. eXTRASET is available as a complete software and imagesetter package and can be purchased directly from Goldleaf Systems, or through authorized VARs and VADs. Prices vary according to system configurations, ranging from $19,000 to $37,000.
