What happened with the development of Desk Top Publishing at Apple?
For more than two year 3 nothing happened in this field. The latest development was Colorsynk. If you look at the monitors with the flatpanels LCD, to my opinion are not an improvement over the RCT tubes.
I am looking for a four colour process monitors producing the real thing. Producing a smoot and racer sharp image, RGB and YMCK all in one. I like to be able to see on screen my designs on different types of paper or other materials. There are so many holes to fill there. There is nothing that indicates that brings screen and print more together. The DTP applications we have today are the same for years now. Nothing new there. What is I see on screen is what I want in print.
Anyhow, like I am saying, it?s all quiet out there!

Apple toyed with this idea of FontSync in OS 9. They tucked it way somewhere, but I'm not sure where that stands now or really what it did.
Also, adopting the pdf spec for their display layer and creating Quartz compositing is a real breakthrough in display technology. Problem is, most of the software that people are using from Macromedia, and Adobe (and obviously Quark too) doesn't really use this technology to great advantage (yet). The pdf display layer is essentially, or maybe just theoretically, a more WYSIWYG (what-you-see-is-what-you-get) display too. Certainly, it ties the display closer to print output.

I don?t see it the way as you describing PDF getting closer to print. It would be the same as producing a high res tiff image form your lay-out. PDF is nice as a platform/resolution independent (besides the pixel images) document exchanger. Maybe it predicts in proofing how the type will come out but not the colours.
<strong>I do like the idea of the CMYK monitors,I think that could solve a lot of problems.</strong><hr></blockquote>
Considering that the CMYK colour model is subtractive, while RGB is additive, I'd say that it's impossible to create a CMYK monitor. Well, at least until someone invents something that can absorb mass amounts of light and can be triggered on and off easily.
