CorelDRAW 9 On In Things today, Greg Melvill-Smith speaks to Kevin Buchler from Corel about CorelDRAW 9.
Some of the new features in CorelDRAW 9 are that the Roll-ups have been enhanced, by streamlining the User Interface into Dockers. The Link Manager Docker enables you to import a file that will be located in the Link Manager - allowing you to keep files that you frequently use on your Desktop in your Link Manager. CorelDRAW is useful for anyone creating documents for companies are that are publishing their documents to HTML or XML. Corel have just enhanced this with PDA Format (Portable Document Format from Adobe Systems).
Photo-Paint is photo imaging software for digital cameras, etc. By clicking on any of the images, you will be given a real time preview of the image. Contact:

It is 600 dot bench printer, and it uses a Windows controller, so all the processing is done in the PC and then the process image is sent the printer.
With an Ink Jet printers, you would need a good quality paper to receive a good print out, where as with a laser printer, you can use almost any type of paper. The running costs of a colour laser printer are 20% less than that of an Ink Jet printer.

On In Things today, Greg Melvill-Smith talks to Robin Mowatt from QMS South Africa, about the QMS Magi-colour 2 Desk Laser Printer.
Therefore this laser printer proves to be very cost efficient. Sian, Magenta, Yellow and Black are the four basic colours used to print.
The media that can be used in the printer can be anything from normal photo-copier paper (80 gram) to a thick board paper (240 gram), glossy paper, silver foil paper and transparency paper, as well as printing gummed labels.
The small office and home office would make use of this Laser Printer, as well as the corporate environment where it can be shared on a Network, and as a conventional printer, printing 16 pages a minute.
