The Xerox Alto was an individual workstation in 1973. Printing technology was also available. The Xerox Graphics Printer (XGP) was in use at Stanford, MIT and CMU by 1972, with 192 DPI. Xerox began producing a high-speed laser printer at 300 DPI resolution in 1976. NYIT created a 24-bit color computer display around 1974, and commercial units for broadcast were available by 1975. | |

There were such things as vector plotters: any good university computer centre would have one, and yes it did have (a limited range of) colours. | |
