- (Boxborough, Mass., May 11, 1992) -- In a move reflective of its efforts to
- make color printing technology affordable for a wider range of users, NEC
- Technologies, Inc. today announced that it has reduced the suggested
- retail price of the ColorMate PS Model 40 printer to $4,799 from $5,899.
- In addition, the suggested retail price of an upgrade kit to the ColorMate
- PS Model 80 has been reduced to $1,500 from $1,700.
-
- Designed for use by entry-level color PostScript language users for
- business presentation applications, the ColorMate PS Model 40 is a color
- thermal transfer printer featuring 4MB of RAM, and 17 Adobe typefaces.
-
- The upgrade kit for the Model 40 contains two daughter boards featuring an
- extra 4MB of RAM and an additional 18 fonts. The upgraded model -- the
- ColorMate PS Model 80 -- provides graphic artists, designers and engineers
- with the capability to produce sophisticated graphics.
-
- The Model 40 can produce letter and A4 size pages, while the Model 80
- supports letter, A4, and legal size pages.
-
- "As new technologies gain acceptance in the marketplace, it becomes more
- cost-efficient for manufacturers to produce product in mass quantities
- and, in turn, pass this savings on to consumers. The color printer market
- is no exception," said John McIntyre, director of marketing for NEC's
- Printer Division. "The combination of affordability and features such as
- three color, four color, and monochrome (true black) ribbons position the
- Model 40 as an ideal printer for those who require color printing to
- supplement reports and presentations with color text and graphics. For
- experienced graphic arts, engineering, and CAD/CAM users who require a
- great deal of memory and numerous fonts to run sophisticated applications,
- the Model 80 has one of the best price/performance ratios in the
- industry."
