In the past, the only way you could produce typographic communication was by sending your typewritten materials to a typesetting shop. That often took days. By having a typographic communication system in your office, you can produce book and magazine-quality materials as easily as you currently produce word-processor output. (Source: advertising brochure for the Compugraphic Personal Composition System, 1984).
