simply cannot provide as sharp an image as the photographic
process used in an imagesetter. The difference is especially
apparent in digital halftone.
If a printing press is not the ultimate goal, then a laser
printer, color printer, or color copier may be the final output
device. Allowing for the image quality limitations inherent in
such devices, it's not unreasonable to reproduce hundreds of
copies of a publication. Some business routinely reproduce
letters, business cards, advertising flyers and so on with their
laser printers. Even full color brochures can be economically
produced on such deves as a Canon photocopier fitted with a
Fiery controller. The Fiery controller (developed by Electronics
for Imaging) is a PostScript interpreter which creates good
continuous-tone color images. This kind of final output for
business presentations and short-run color is an important
aspect of electronic publishing.
