Sorry, I was wrong about the Tigers having USB. In fact, according to
their web page, only the Tiger Pro has Network connectivity.
The "4 Waves" from Index is supposed to be a 1000 page an hour embosser,
due to be released around the middle of this year. I actually saw one
in operation when I visited Index in Sweden recently. If it fulfils
it's specification, it will be an impressive embosser. It's pretty big,
about the size of a large chest freezer, but very quiet in operation.
George.

The Tigers now have USB? Tjhat's very good. Do you know anything about
a new embosser someojne mentioned to me yesterday from Index called the
4 Waves Pro?
Thanks.
Is it true that with the Tiger embossers, you still can't emboss
interpoint automatically; you have to maually flip the pages over?
Thanks.
