Autologic and Monotype Typesetters: Introduction

The Autologic APS-5 and the Monotype LaserComp are high-end typesetters
used in the printing industry, especially by newspapers. These typesetters
can do a limited bit-map image, but require information in ICL or PostScript.

Autologic, Monotype, and their ICL page description language were all
developed in the 1970s. They are analogous to, and compete with, newer
products like the Linotype LN300 using PostScript from Adobe.

To locate a vendor's address and phone numbers, use vendor name as a search
