Hey Sean,
I suggest a poll:
How many technical writers are creating output for:
Offset press 2+ colors via electronic files
Offset press 1 color via electronic files
Offset press 1 color via camera-ready copy printed locally
Xerox docutech or other large-capacity laser-type printer
Low-volume office-size color laser printer
Low-volume office-size one-color laser printer
Not delivering printed output to the customer, only online (PDF/online
Help/etc.)
This project is really just getting underway, but we are largely doing
one-color low-volume documentation at the moment, with the "user"
documentation coming later in the form of online help/PDF output. There may
be some limited low-volume color laser printing, but that's unknown at the
moment.
