From: Walter.Smith@CMU-CS-SPICE
Is anyone working on a MacPaint to Press file conversion program? Now that
all these companies are typesetting Macintosh graphics, that seems like an
obvious step. We wouldn't have to wait for the Apple laser printer to get
quick high-quality output. And since the typesetting places are charging
around $25/page, it would be a lot cheaper.

Another thing the typesetters can do is typeset MacWrite documents. Perhaps
a device driver can be written that creates press files so that high-
resolution graphics can be done. On the other hand, perhaps there is a
better way.
