Description
The Apple Color LaserWriter 12/660 PS is a high-performance, multiplatform Adobe PostScript color laser printer that provides outstanding results for both color and gray-scale printing. It's ideal for anyone who requires conven-ient, superior-quality color printing capabilities.
Today, everyone -- from senior executives to sales professionals to schoolteachers -- is looking to improve the impact of printed documents by incorporating color. Color charts can highlight financial data, color logos can make product presentations more appealing, color graphics can grab -- and hold -- student interest, and on and on. Unfortunately, until now, high-quality color printing involved expensive specialized equipment that put it out of reach for most of those who could benefit from it.
The Color LaserWriter 12/660 PS provides a breakthrough in color printing performance. With its 600-dot-per-inch resolution, it provides the outstanding print quality you need -- fast. Its performance contributes to your efficiency; for example, the Color LaserWriter 12/660 PS can be used to print multiple color copies (up to 180 per hour), making it perfect for producing handouts. And to help you get started using this printer quickly and efficiently, your purchase includes not only everything needed to start printing impressive color docu-ments right away, but also installation and setup*.
That convenience remains true over time, too, because the Color LaserWriter 12/660 PS requires only seven printer supplies and features an easy-access front-loading design. It also comes with valuable tips and techniques to help you get the best performance and image quality possible when working with many of the most popular graphics and page-layout applications. Add to that this printer's easy and flexible networking capability, which lets you share its cost across an entire workgroup (including systems running Windows 95), and color printing has never been so simple.
So if you want convenient color printing -- without a compromise in quality -- the Apple Color LaserWriter 12/660 PS is the printer for you.
