The main problem of delegating the elaboration of the press to the computer was that normally the communication between computer and printer was slow and therefore the press also turned out slow. The Apple Color Printer did not suffer from this defect since it connected to a computer via a relatively fast SCSI bus. -Jonathan Berkowitz
