Guest guest Posted February 23, 1996 Report Share Posted February 23, 1996 Dear friends, We are proposing to purchase a few computers for our desk- top-publishing system. We have a fund of Rs.3.00 lakhs for this purpose. We print around 2500 pages per year in Devanagari, English and Kannda scripts. At present we have one LC II, one LaserWrit er Pro 600, Mac SE for DTP work. Generally we don't have graph ics in our publications. Initially we had planned to purchase APPLE MACINTOSH LC 475 2 Nos. and two Nos. IBM PC 486 SX. Now that these machines are phased out, we are rethinking reg. the models. Please suggest whether we can go in for Apple power book range and IBM pentiums and scanners. We also need softwares like PageMaker for IBM & MAC (latest version) & font packages for Kannada and Devanagari scripts. At present, our need is for desk-top-publishing and programming only. We would be obliged if any of the members help us by getting the literature and prices of latest MAC computers, laserwriter & inkjets, scanners, software packages like PageMaker, multi-lin gual (Indian) fonts etc. at the earliest. We had purchased the existing computers without any expert consultation. Now that we have access to experts like you, we want to purchase latest & reliable computers best suited for our needs. Hence this request.
