7.  MARKETABLE SECURITIES
     The Company classifies its marketable securities as available-for-sale.
At October 2, 1999 and December 31, 1998, 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 nine months ended October 2, 1999, the Company issued 22,668
shares of Common Stock in connection with the Employee Stock Purchase Plan at
at prices between $1.97 and $2.13 per share.

     On July 27, 1999 the Company repurchased all 1,587,690 shares of its
common stock held by Deluxe Corporation, an affiliate, for $1.90 per share.
The Company sold available-for-sale securities to finance the transaction.

9.  NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT
     SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities," was issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board in
June 1998.  The Standard will require the Company to recognize all
derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value.  Derivatives that are
not hedges must be adjusted to fair value through income.  If the
derivative is a hedge, depending on the nature of the hedge, changes in
the fair value of derivatives will either be offset against the change in
fair value of the hedged assets, liabilities, or firm commitments through
earnings, or recognized in other comprehensive income until the hedged item
is recognized in earnings.  The change in a derivative's fair value related
to the ineffective portion of a hedge, if any, will be immediately recognized
in earnings.  The Company expects to adopt this Standard as of the beginning
of its fiscal year 2001.  The effect of adopting the Standard is currently
being evaluated, but is not expected to have a material effect on the
Company's financial position or results in operations.

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

                  RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE QUARTER ENDED
                     OCTOBER 2, 1999 AND OCTOBER 3, 1998

    Total revenues for the 1999 quarter were $1.36 million, a decrease of
23% from third quarter 1998 revenues of $1.77 million.  The decrease
was due primarily to the decline in non affiliate sales in the 1999 quarter
compared to 1998.

    The Company's gross margin was $374,000 in the third quarter 1999
versus $701,000 in the comparable quarter in 1998.  Gross margin as a
percentage of revenue decreased from 40% in the third quarter 1998 to 28%
in third quarter 1999.  The decreased margin in 1999 was due primarily
to higher service costs with more complex installations, write-offs of
certain obsolete inventory, and increased manufacturing variances caused
by increased fixed costs and lower volumes.

    Research and development expenses decreased to $177,000 in the third
quarter 1999 from $202,000 in the third quarter in 1998.  The decrease

was largely due to lower headcount and related expenses with the maturation
of the PlateStream design.

    Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to $327,000 in
the third quarter of 1999 from $346,000 in the third quarter of 1998.
Selling expenses increased by approximately $63,000 in the third quarter 1999
primarily due to increased costs associated with the field sales force
established in late 1998.  General and administrative expenses were down
approximately $82,000 in the 1999 quarter due primarily to lower accrual of
executive incentive compensation.

    Interest and other income were $151,000 in the 1999 quarter compared
to $194,000 in the 1998 quarter.  The decrease in interest income in 1999 was
due to lower interest rates and a decrease in cash and investment of $4.2
million from the 1998 quarter compared to the 1999 quarter.  This was primarily
due to the Company's repurchase of stock from Deluxe and financing of its
leasing activity.

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

<PAGE>
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE 9 MONTHS ENDED OCTOBER 2, 1999 and OCTOBER 3,
1998

    Total revenues for the nine months ended October 2, 1999 were $3.54 million,
a decrease of 31% from 1998.  The decrease in 1999 revenues versus the year-ago
period was primarily due to a decrease in affiliate supplies sales and slightly
lower equipment sales in 1999.

    The Company's gross margin as a percentage of revenues in the 1999
period was 35%, down from 43% in the 1998 period.  This was due to increased
manufacturing variances caused by higher fixed costs and lower volumes as well
as higher service costs with more complex installations, and an increase of
write-offs of obsolete inventory.

    Research and development expenses for the 1999 period decreased 1.3%
over the same period in 1998 due primarily to lower headcount and related costs.

    Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 3% in 1999 compared
to 1998.  This was due to a 31% increase in marketing and sales costs associated
with the establishment of the PlateStream field sales force.  General and
administrative expenses decreased 22% from 1998 primarily due to lower accrual
of executive incentive compensation.

    Interest and other income were $530,000 in the 1999 period compared
to $615,000 in the 1998 period.  The decrease in 1999 was due to lower interest
rates and a decrease in cash and investments caused primarily by the Company's
repurchase of stock from Deluxe and financing of its leasing activities.

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

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

    Working capital was over $11.1 million on October 2, 1999 compared to
$14.7 at December 31, 1998.  Cash, cash equivalents and investments
decreased by approximately $4.2 million at October 2, 1999 compared to
December 31, 1998.  The decrease was primarily due to the repurchase of Deluxe
common stock and an increase in sales-type leases financed by the Company.
Management believes working capital is adequate for its current needs.


    As of October 2, 1999 the Company has no material commitments which would
result in a significant cash outflow other than purchases of inventory and
the financing of Platesetter leases.
<PAGE>
YEAR 2000 ("Y2K")

    The Year 2000 problem is due to the past software practice of coding
years using only two digits.  This is predicted to cause many computer-related
malfunctions because year "00" could be taken to mean year 1900 rather than
2000.  In 1998, the Company began to investigate Y2K compliance in areas of
its Platesetter products, business computer systems (Information Technology or
"IT"), production equipment, vendor readiness, non-IT systems, and contingency
plans.

    The Company's Y2K readiness status is: current platesetter products are
Y2K compliant, though some RIPs produced from 1993 through 1996 may be non-
compliant; the central IT software system was certified Y2K-compliant by a
third party; ancillary software packages developed and sold by the company
tested compliant; equipment used in production does not use dates to control
operations; compliance/impact assessments of the PBX, security, and alarm
non-IT systems is complete; statements of compliance were received from
the RIP software vendors; sent and received compliance questionnaires from
key vendors.  To complete readiness and remediation by mid-November, 1999, the
Company plans to: finish testing and remedy compliance with key IT system and
personal productivity PCs and their applications; complete processing of
compliance questionnaires re-sent to the remaining key vendors that did not
report compliance initially, and assess overall results; complete contingency
plan.

    The Company has spent approximately $40,000 to date on its Y2K-related
activities, and estimates $50,000 to be adequate for its related 1999
activities.  The Company does not anticipate purchasing Y2K liability
insurance.  Because of the current state of Y2K readiness and the date
insensitivity of its products, the Company believes the most likely
worst-case scenario to be short term delays in receiving production
inventory.

    The Company anticipates completing its contingency plan by end mid-
November, 1999, based on its knowledge at that time.  As of this writing, no
serious material shortages are anticipated.  The Company's most-likely
contingency plan is projected to primarily be the ordering of extra
production inventory to be received near year-end thereby averting key
vendor or transport interruptions going into 2000.

    Although the Company does not at this time expect a significant impact on
its financial position, results of operations, and cash flows, our internal
Y2K review has not been completed and there can be no assurance that the
systems of other companies or the systems of the Company will not have a
corresponding adverse effect on the Company.
