TrueImage
open-in-new
<p>TrueImage is a <a href="/facts/PostScript/h2XwbcmC">PostScript</a>-compatible interpreter (clone) originally developed by Cal Bauer and Bauer Enterprises and sold to <a href="/facts/Microsoft/nGIDDXdx">Microsoft</a> in 1989. Microsoft subsequently cross-licensed TrueImage to <a href="/facts/Apple_Computer/oTJYta3k">Apple Computer</a> in exchange for a <a href="/facts/TrueType/6kBap0kH">TrueType</a> license. After many delays, Microsoft finally delivered version 1.0 of TrueImage to Apple; Apple announced they would be licensing PostScript Level 2 from <a href="/facts/Adobe_Systems/Bj1d5XvJ">Adobe Systems</a> a few months later. </p><p>Apple tried to build one product on TrueImage, but no TrueImage products were ever released by the company. However, TrueImage was used in a variety of <a href="/facts/Laser_printer/fJ2GrUBj">laser printers</a>, such as Abaton <a href="/facts/Okidata/cw6p0ctX">Okidata</a> and LaserMaster into the mid-1990s, with limited success. </p>
