7. MARKETABLE SECURITIES
     The Company classifies its marketable securities as available-for-sale.  
At April 4, 1998 and December 31, 1997, securities available-for-sale are
carried at fair value with the net unrealized holding gain or loss included 
in shareholders' equity.

8. SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY

     During the three months ended April 4, 1998, the Company issued 6,627
shares of Common Stock in connection with the Employee Stock Purchase Plan at
$2.7625 per share.

9. COMPREHENSIVE NET INCOME

     Effective January 1, 1998, the Company adopted Statement of Financial 
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income."  SFAS 
No. 130 requires the disclosure of comprehensive income and its components in

$370,000 and $347,000 for the quarters ended April 4, 1998 and April 5, 1997, 
respectively, which consists of net income in addition to the net unrealized

options.

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

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

    Total revenues for the 1998 quarter were $1.68 million, a decrease of 9%
from those of first quarter 1997 which were $1.85 million.  The decrease was
due to a reduction in affiliate supplies sales largely offset by an increase 
in PlateStream Platesetter sales in the 1998 quarter compared to 1997. 

    The decrease in revenues from the Company's affiliate in the 1998 quarter 
was due primarily to reduced purchases of digital plate material used in the 
Company's older Platesetter models.  The Company believes this will continue 
for the remainder of 1998.

    The Company's gross margin was $750,000 in the first quarter 1998 versus
$806,000 in the comparable quarter in 1997.  Gross margin as a percentage of
revenue increased from 44% in the first quarter 1997 to 45% in first quarter
1998. The increased percentage margin in 1997 was due primarily to a change 
in product mix from lower margin supplies to higher margin Platesetters.

    Research and development expenses decreased to $179,000 in the first
quarter 1998 from $213,000 in the first quarter in 1997.  The decrease was
largely due to the completion of the development of the new PlateStream 
product in 1997.

    Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $405,000 in the
first quarter of 1998 from $328,000 in the first quarter of 1997.  Selling
expenses increased by approximately $60,000 in the first quarter 1998 due to
investment spending on the new PlateStream model and higher commissions due 
to increased equipment sales.  General and administrative expenses were up 
approximately $20,000 in the 1998 quarter due primarily to increased 
management compensation, annual report expenses, and Nasdaq expenses.

    Interest, other income and income taxes were $200,000 in the 1998 quarter
compared to $195,000 in the 1997 quarter.  This increase in interest income in
1998 is due primarily to an increase in cash and investments of over $1.1 
million from the 1997 quarter compared to the 1998 quarter.  This is largely 
due to the Company's profit from operations.

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

    Net income for the first quarter of 1998 was $366,000, or $.07 per common
share, down from $460,000 or $.09 per share in 1997 due to increased expenses 
partially offset by higher margins and investment income.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

    Working capital was $14.7 million on April 4, 1998 compared to $14.5 at 
December 31, 1997.  Cash, cash equivalents and investments decreased by 
approximately $55,000 at April 4, 1998 compared to December 31, 1997.  The
decrease was primarily due to an increase in sales-type leases financed 
by the Company partially offset by net income from operating activities.

    As of April 4, 1998 the Company has no material commitments which would
result in a significant cash outflow other than purchases of inventory in the
normal course of business, and the financing of additional 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.
