A device that can produce very high resolution text on photo-sensitive paper or film. The phototypesetter, rather like a large laser printer, normally uses the PostScript page description language and can generate type at 2,540dpi. If the device is capable of outputting text and half-tone images, it is normally called an image setter. If you want to produce a professional-looking newsletter or brochure, you should send a disk of the files to a bureau that has a phototypesetter machine. The bureau will produce a printed version that you can then give to a printer.
