- I've looked at the Apple flyers describing the new LaserWriters and
- I've got a couple of questions:
-
- 1) The PRO 600 requires a "Photograde Upgrade Kit" to enable
- Photograde and Fineprint. Is this just an additional 4MB of memory
- or is there more to it?
-
- 2) The descriptions of both printers seem to imply that they have two
- modes: 600 dpi for text only with no photograde/fineprint or 300 dpi
- with photograde and fineprint (provided you have enough memory on the
- 600). New versions of the LaserWriter drivers are included and they
- have radio buttons to select between the two. Is that correct? If
- so, how do photos look at 600dpi compared to 300dpi+photograde
- (assuming you're printing mostly text)? How does 600dpi without
- fineprint compare to 300dpi+fineprint?
-
- 3) How do the LaserWriter PROs compare to the newly announced 600dpi
- HP 4M (correct model number?) printers? Assuming they were priced
- similarly, which would you buy and why?
-
- Postings or private mail welcomed. Thanks for any enlightenment you
- can provide.
