Product Description 
Refurbished. Priced under $400 and redesigned with tighter geometric-imaging specifications, the HR 6000 Slide Printer from Polaroid creates professional-quality 35mm slides in just minutes at the desktop. Ideal for the finest digital imaging requirements of today's high-resolution digital cameras and other scanned images!

The economical choice for creating slides at the desktop 
At an affordable price, the HR 6000 is the unit of choice for entry-level and/or budget-conscious 35mm preparers and presenters in hospitals, education, government agencies and business environments. 

Utilizing its dynamic focus circuitry, the HR 6000 prints slides with sharp images and crisp, clear text.  A high-resolution CRT and enhanced optics create stunning 4,000 line 35mm slides with true edge-to-edge sharpness.  The HR 6000 produces 24-bit color images using an internal proprietary 33-bit color exposure process, resulting in accurate shading, smooth ramped backgrounds and up to 16.7 million colors for vibrant images. 

Easy to install and compatible with major platforms 
The HR 6000 is fully compatible with Macintosh, PCs and compatibles, and a variety of other platforms.  Simple to set up up, the unit connects to the computer's standard parallel or SCSI port (SCSI required on Windows XP, 2000 and NT).  On both the Macintosh and PC platforms, the HR 6000 supports networking with RasterPlus for all versions of Windows and Macintosh computers. 

A flexible tool for in-house imaging  
The HR 6000 supports positive and negative 35mm films with custom film tables for E6, C-41 and Polaroid brand instant 35mm films.  With optional camera backs, it also images onto 3 1/4" x 4 1/4",  3" x 4" and 4" x 5" Polaroid instant film for proofing images. 

As an in-house or departmental resource for slide printing, the HR 6000 pays for itself quickly.  Users avoid the costs of external slide production and imaging, and pay only for film and developing. Many owners find that, as they save more money over time, their use of 35mm slides (and the HR 6000) increases.  The HR 6000... an affordable, convenient solution for the 35mm presenter, digital photographer and all others demanding quality.
 

 
Windows Manager for Polaroid Palettes

Product Description
RasterPlus is a high-performance Microsoft print manager for Polaroid's Palette line of color film recorders.  The software is designed to work with HR 6000, and both ProPalette 7000 and 8000 Color Film Recorders on a PC running Windows 95 or newer operating system.  The film recorders can be attached to the computer using the SCSI or parallel interface. RasterPlus is also compatible with the older Digital Palette model CI-5000S.

bulletRasterPlus has the capability of creating image queues for totally unattended printing of various image files.  Each queue entry stores the path name of the image along with all printing attributes and parameters.  Several queues can be created that contain different image subjects, printer attributes, and printer destinations.  Entire queues can be saved for multiple printing sessions.

The Power of PostScript
RasterPlus converts Digital Palettes and ProPalettes into 100% Adobe-compatible Level II PostScript printers.  Current Windows                                               applications like PowerPoint and CorelDRAW have features that only work on PostScript compatible printers.  With RasterPlus, the Palette film recorders now manage documents with embedded EPS (encapsulated postscript) files, rotated bitmap images, even complex blends and fountain fills.
