AUD $25,000 for a Linotype L100 PostScript imagesetter (used).
Has a 68K computer inside it with Adobe ROMs. Communication via serial or
AppleTalk.
One of the first high resolution PostScript imagesetters. Put a lot of feet of
bromide paper through it.
Neat! By the standards of the time, those were not really high image
quality, but definitely adequate and successful for newspaper work. I
remember working with them in the early 1980s.
Yes, its primary job was newspaper galley setting when I bought it, but
I did bureau work on the side. Even some negatives of questionable
density ;)
