For each product, the respective manufacturer/distributor provided information, which we may have edited for content or length. We are not responsible for errors or omissions. Some of the products were moved to the 2001 Color Digital Printer Directory which will be featured in our August issue.

Note: the letters in brackets [ ] following an entry indicate the types of labs/operations using this equipment, as follows: M = Minilab; L = Microlab; C = Commercial/custom lab; P = Pro/people lab; W = Wholesale photofinisher; B = Service Bureau, S = School lab, D = Drugstore/supermarket/mass-merchandiser; R = Reprographic/printing houses; O = Other (corporate/medical/governmental/press).
