New printer open to students
By Travis Butler
Kansan staff writer
University students and faculty wanting to do high-quality printing now have another option open to them.
Students and faculty with access to a Macintosh computer can get their work printed with typeset-quality at Printing Services, 2425 W. 18th St., on the electronic L300 typesetter, the associate director of printing services said.
"We're doing quite a bit of business with student resumes through the copy center," said associate director Don Payne. "This gives them an opportunity to generate resumes with fancy typeytes."
Students can turn in a rough version of their work at any of the University copy centers and have the copy center workers type it in, he said. If a student is familiar with the Macintosh, he or she can save money by typing and setting it up themselves. Sue Betow, director of Wescoe Duplicating says that prices have not yet been set.
Printing Services' Macintoshes
support Aidus PageMaker 3.0, Quark Xpress, Adobe Illustrator, Word Perfect, and Microsoft Word for printing on the Linotronic, Payne said.
The departments of continuing education and university relations are two of the biggest Linotronic users, Payne said. The School of Engineering, the Medical Center, and the Kansas Geological Survey also are using it.
Dave Barnhill, director of Academic Computing Services' Technology Center, said the L300 achieves its higher quality by printing at a higher resolution.
Ordinary laser printers, such as the Apple LaserWriter, print at a resolution of 300 dots per inch, or 90,000 dots per square inch. The L300 prints at 1,270 dots per inch, or 1,612,000 dots per square inch.
"The example I always use is printing hairlines with the PageMaker page layout program," Barnhill said. "On the LaserWriter, you get a beautiful thin line one dot wide. On the Linotronic, it's also one dot wide, but you can't see the line without a magnifying glass."
sity relations, said the Linotronic has a big help to their work.
"We're aware of a major change in the printing industry," he said. "We're seeing a marriage between desktop publishing, done with desktop computers and laser printers, and traditional printing." He also said getting into the Macintosh or other kinds of desktop publishing."
"It gives us greater control over the product," she said. "It allows us to do our own set-up and take the disk from our Macs down there to print. It speeds things along, and we save money from doing our own typesetting. It's good business, and we're very happy they have it."
Payne said Printing Services got the Linotronic because they wanted to stay on the cutting edge of printing technology.
The complete system, including the Macintosh II computers used to run the typesetter, cost about $150,000. Payne said. He expects to see use of the system picking up as the year goes on. The system is now running at about 10 percent of its capability.
