- Acorn Appears with AB Dick at CeBIT
-
- Acorn Computers Limited is appearing on the A.B. Dick stand at CeBIT 93
- demonstrating its electronic publishing system targetted at the pre-press
- market. Acorn is also showing off its publishing system for the professional
- publishing and graphical design markets on its own stand.
-
- The systems being shown comprise an Acorn 32-bit RISC computer, together
- with a 256-level greyscale flatbed scanner, a range of extremely fast high
- quality laser printers for proofing and direct plate production, Impression
- II publishing software from Computer Concepts Ltd, and postscript drivers
- for easy output to image typesetters.
-
- Using Acorn's Pre-Press system, customers can easily produce work from the
- simplest A4 sheet, to a multi-page catalogue, to a prestigious brochure. It
- combines the power and performance of Acorn's latest computer technology
- (for which it won a Queen's Award for Technological Achievement last year)
- with professional software and peripherals. The Impression II software is
- easy to use, yet powerful enough for the most demanding of tasks. The whole
- system is one of the fastest on the market allowing changes in documents to
- be made almost instantaneously. The system price includes a comprehensive
- training package.
-
- A printing job management system for the Pre-Press system will also be
- demonstrated which provides intelligent window menuing such that a complete
- novice can use the system without any special training.
-
- Acorn's Professional Publishing Marketing Manager, Simon Woodward said he
- was delighted to have the opportunity of appearing with A.B.Dick. "For
- businesses looking to do their own typesetting on a limited budget, the
- Acorn and A.B. Dick systems provide the most sensible and cost effective
- solutions available" he said.
-
- "Acorn's Publishing system is unique in the world of electronic publishing.
- We ship more 32-bit RISC based personal computers than any other
- manufacturer in the world; and our ARM3 32-bit processor together with our
- easy to use RISC operating system and applications software have created a
- publishing system which outperforms the highest specification systems from
- most other publishing system vendors, yet falls within most budgets.
