ITEM 2.                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION 
                   AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND  
                          RESULTS OF OPERATIONS  

                  RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE QUARTER ENDED 
                       JULY 4, 1998 AND JULY 5, 1997

    Total revenues for the 1998 quarter were $1.72 million, a decrease of
11% over those of second quarter 1997 which were $1.93 million.  The decrease
was due to the decline of supplies sales in the 1998 quarter compared to 1997,
largely offset by an increase in Platesetter sales.

    Model 3240 Platesetter sales included sales to the Company's OEM 
customer and sales of the new PlateStream model.  The decline in supplies 
sales was primarily due to loss of Deluxe Corporation as a supplies customer.

    The Company's gross margin was $746,000 in the second quarter 1998 
versus $871,000 in the comparable quarter in 1997.  Gross margin as a 
percentage of revenue decreased from 45% in the second quarter 1997 to 43% 

in second quarter 1998.  The decreased margin in 1998 was due primarily 
to inventory write-downs due to the loss of Deluxe Corporation as a supplies 
customer.

    Research and development expenses decreased to $173,000 in the second 
quarter 1998 from $250,000 in the second quarter in 1997.  The decrease 
was primarily due to completion of the development of the new PlateStream 
product in mid 1997.

    Selling, general and administrative expenses were $405,000 in the 
second quarter of 1998 up from $322,000 in the second quarter of 1997.  
Marketing and sales expenses increased by approximately $50,000 in the 
second quarter 1998 primarily due to an increased advertising and exhibition 
participation associated with the PlateStream product.  General and 
administrative expenses were up in the 1998 quarter due primarily to costs
associated with the loss of supplies business from Deluxe Corporation.

    Operating income in the 1998 period was $168,000 or 10% of revenues, 
compared to $299,000 or 16% of revenues in the 1997 period.  The decrease 
was due to higher period costs from investment spending on the new 
PlateStream program and higher expenses associated from loss of supplies 
business.

    Interest and other income were $221,000 in the 1998 quarter compared 
to $196,000 in the 1997 quarter.  The increase in 1998 was due primarily 
to the 1998 quarter's increase in cash and investments of over $1.2 million 
compared to the 1997 quarter.  This was largely due to the Company's 
positive cash flow from operations.

    The Company's income tax expense primarily consists of minimum taxes 
due, offset by net operating loss carryforwards. 

    Net income for the second quarter of 1998 was $389,000, or $.08 per 
common basic and diluted share, down from $495,000 or $.10 per share in 
1997 due largely to write-downs associated with the loss of Deluxe's 
supplies business.

<PAGE>
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE 6 MONTHS ENDED JULY 4, 1998 and JULY 5, 1997

    Total revenues for the first half of 1998 were $3.40 million or an 
decrease of 10% from 1997.  The decrease in 1998 revenues versus the year-ago 
period was because of stronger sales of the PlateStream model, which were 
more than offset by the decreased supplies sales due to the loss of Deluxe 
Corporation as a supplies customer.

    The Company's gross margin as a percentage of revenue in the 1998 
period was 44%, unchanged from 44% in the 1997 period.

    Research and development expenses for the 1998 period decreased 24% 
over the same period in 1997 due primarily to completion of the new 
PlateStream product in 1997.

    Selling, general and administrative expenses were 25% higher in 1998
compared to 1997 primarily due to higher marketing and sales costs 
associated with the new PlateStream product and costs incurred as a 
result of the loss of supplies business from Deluxe Corporation.

    Operating income in the 1998 period was $334,000 or 10% of revenues,
compared to $564,000 or 15% of revenues in the 1997 period.  The decrease 
was due primarily to write-downs associated with the loss of supplies 
business partially offset by increased equipment sales.

    Interest and other income were $421,000 in the 1998 period compared 
to $391,000 in the 1997 period.  The increase in 1998 is due primarily to 
an increase in cash and investments from profitable operations.

    The Company's income tax expense consists of minimum taxes due, 
offset by the net operating loss carryforwards.

    Net income for the 1998 period was $755,000 or 22% of revenues, down
3% from $955,000 or 25% of revenues in 1997.  Basic and diluted earnings 
per share were $.15 in the 1998 period versus $.20 per share for the 1997 
period.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

    The current ratio was over 14 to 1 on July 4, 1998 compared to over 
16 to 1 on December 31, 1997.  Working capital was over $14.0 million on 
July 4, 1998 compared to over $14.0 at December 31, 1997.  Long-term lease 
receivables were $626,000 at July 4, 1998 compared to $174,000 at 
December 31, 1997 due to the expanding number of leases financed by the 
Company's Leasing Division.  The Company has financed nearly $850,000 in 
lease sales inception to date.  Cash, cash equivalents and investments 
increased by approximately $300,000 at July 4, 1998 compared to 
December 31, 1997, due to the past six months of profitable operations, 
partially offset by the increase in lease receivables.


    As of July 4, 1998 the Company has no material commitments which would 
result in a significant cash outflows other than purchases of inventory and 
the financing of Platesetter leases.

MILLENNIUM CHANGE

    The Company has conducted a review of its computer systems to identify 
those areas that could be affected by the "Year 2000" issue.  The Company 
presently believes, with modification to existing software, the Year 2000 
problem will not pose significant operational problems, and the costs are not 
anticipated to be material to its financial position or results of operations 
in any given year.
