LaserWriter IIg

Introduced: January 1, 1988
Terminated: October 1, 1991

Description

A Motorola 68000 processor that could run at speeds of up to 11MHz powered the LaserWriter IINT.  With a DPI of 300, the LaserWriter IINT could produce about eight pages a minute. The Adobe PostScript interpreter was used and communication was through LocalTalk.

The LaserWriter IINTX was virtually identical to the IINT, but used a Motorola 68020 processor running at a faster speed for better use of the PostScript interpreter. 

History

The release of the LaserWriter IINT was intended as a new model in the LaserWriter II line.  Unlike the LaserWriter IISC, the LaserWriter IINT and IINTX used more expensive options like PostScript and LocalTalk.
