From the supplier: Recent technological advances have reduced the cost of color output devices to the point where they are affordable by educators. Output quality has also improved and there is now a wide variety of technologies to choose from. Plotters can handle a wide variety of media, from tracing paper to cardboard, using colored pens or pencils to produce the image. Some color photocopiers can now process computer image files to produce full color images. Other similar options are tri-level xerography, which can produce two-color images, and modern duplicators, which create their stencils from scanned digital images. Ink-jet printers are an inexpensive solution for color output, though somewhat slow. Wax-thermal printers are particularly suited to producing overhead transparencies, although glossy paper can also be used. Video printing makes a direct copy of the image on the screen. Dye-sublimation is a new, expensive thermal printing technology that can produce images of almost photographic quality.
