7.  MARKETABLE SECURITIES
     The Company classifies its marketable securities as available-for-sale.
At July 1, 2000 and December 31, 1999, 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 six months ended July 1, 2000, the Company issued 18,527
shares of Common Stock in connection with the Employee Stock Purchase Plan
at prices of $2.28, $1.91 and $1.86 per share.

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.

     In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") issued
Staff Accounting bulletin ("SAB") No. 101 "Revenue Recognition in Financial
Statements".  SAB No. 101 summarizes certain of the SEC staff's view in applying
generally accepted accounting principles to selected revenue recognition issues.
SAB No. 101 is to be implemented by the Company no later than the fourth quarter
of fiscal 2000.  The Company is currently reviewing SAB 101 and its effects on
the financial statements, but has not yet determined the effect on its financial
position or results of its operations.

ITEM 2.                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION
                       AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATIONS

                  RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE QUARTER ENDED
                       JULY 1, 2000 AND JULY 3, 1999

    Total revenues for the second quarter of 2000 were $1.61 million, an
increase of 27% from second quarter 1999 revenues of $1.27 million.  The
increase was due primarily to an increase in equipment sales in the second
quarter of 2000 compared to the same quarter in 1999, and the addition of
supplies products in 2000 for the Company's current generation of platesetters.
The Company also earned its first Web-to-Plate revenues in this quarter.

    The Company's gross margin was $708,000 in the second quarter of 2000
versus $525,000 in the comparable quarter in 1999.  Gross margin as a
percentage of revenue increased to 44% in the second quarter 2000 from
41% in second quarter 1999.  The increased margin in 2000 was due primarily
to some specific equipment sales at above average historical prices combined
with reduced manufacturing costs.

    Research and development expenses decreased to $145,000 in the second
quarter 2000 from $180,000 in the second quarter in 1999.  The decrease
was largely due to lower headcount and related costs caused by the completion
of the PlateStream development and despite increased expenses for the new
Internet-related Web-to-Plate developments.

    Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to $365,000 in
the second quarter of 2000 from $429,000 in the second quarter of 1999.
Selling expenses decreased by approximately $38,000 in the second quarter
2000 primarily due to loss of sales people that were in the process of being
replaced at the end of the current period. General and administrative expenses
were down approximately $26,000 in the second quarter of 2000 due primarily to
improved efficiency and lower headcount.

    The proxy contest costs in the second quarter of 2000 were the result of
a contested election of the Board of Directors.  The Company incurred expenses
for legal, proxy solicitation, and printing of $153,000, in support of the
incumbent Board, with the expenses of the Committee to Improve Printware
Shareholder Value for similar activities totaling $205,000.  The proxy contest
ended with the election of the dissident slate as the new Board of Directors on
June 16, 2000.  The Company has accrued for the reimbursement of the
Committee's expenses pending approval by the new Board.  Expenses are
expected to be reimbursed in the third quarter 2000 if approved by the new
Board.

    Interest and other income were $112,000 in the second quarter of 2000
compared to $185,000 in the same quarter in 1999.  The decrease in interest
income in 2000 was due to lower interest rates and a decrease in cash and
investments of $4.8 million from the second quarter in 1999 compared to the
same quarter in 2000.  This was primarily due to the $3.0 million buyback of
stock from Deluxe Corporation in July 1999, and the Company's financing of its
leasing activity.

    The Company's income tax (benefit) expense primarily consists of federal
and state taxes due in the current year and is based on the estimated
annualized effective rate.  In 1999, the Company did not record income taxes
because income tax expense was offset by a reduction in the valuation allowance
and the deferred.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE 6 MONTHS ENDED JULY 1, 2000 and JULY 3, 1999

    Total revenues for the first half of 2000 were $2.87 million, an increase
of 31% from the same period in 1999.  The increase in 2000 revenues versus the
year-ago period was primarily due to an increase in equipment sales with a
growing contribution from sales of the new supplies products for the current
generation of platesetters.

    The Company's gross margin as a percentage of revenue in the first half of
2000 was 43%, up from 39% in the same period in 1999.  This was due largely to
higher-margin equipment sales in the first half of 2000, combined with lower
manufacturing costs.


    Research and development expenses for the first half of 2000 decreased 19%
over the same period in 1999 due primarily to the reduction in headcount.
The decrease was largely due to lower headcount and related costs caused by
the completion of the PlateStream development and despite increased expenses
for the new Internet-related Web-to-Plate developments.

    Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $145,000 in the
first half of 2000 compared to the same period in 1999.  This was due to a 13%
decrease in marketing and sales costs due largely to the attrition of personnel
expected to be replaced later this year.  General and administrative expenses
decreased of 21% from the first half of 1999 primarily due to improved
efficiency, reduction in headcount, and lower accrual of executive incentive
compensation.

    Interest and other income were $236,000 in the first half of 2000 compared
to $379,000 in the same period in 1999.  The decrease in 2000 was due to lower
interest rates and a decrease in cash and investments. This was primarily
due to the $3.0 million buyback of stock from Deluxe Corporation in July 1999,
and the Company's financing of its leasing activity.

    The Company's income tax (benefit) expense primarily consists of federal
and state taxes due in the current year, and is based on the estimated
annualized effective rates.  In 1999, the Company did not record income taxes
because income tax expense was offset by a reduction in the valuation allowance
and deferred.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

    Working capital was over $9.6 million at July 1, 2000 compared to $10.5 at
December 31, 1999.  Cash, cash equivalents and investments decreased by
approximately $1.0 million at July 1, 2000 compared to December 31, 1999.  The
decrease was primarily due to the establishment and funding of $596,000 for a
Rabbi trust to cover potential payments to the Company's officers who are
parties to change-in-control severance agreements with the Company.

    Management believes working capital is adequate for its current needs.


    As of July 1, 2000 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.
