One policy Colorbyte has which seems very ill-conceived to me is how 
difficult they make it for a consumer to get a demo.  Colorbyte 
itself apparently no longer provides demo CD's.  Distributors such as 
Lexjet won't send them out to ordinary consumers.  A retailer in 
England will send them out only to those in Western Europe.  Even at 
the fairly high price they charge, many serious hobbyists would 
consider buying their product if convinced it really makes a big 
difference in the quality of their output.  The testimonials of users 
like those here get many us to the edge of the purchase.  If we could 
just get a demo to see for ourselves what others are claiming, I 
believe many more of us would be willing to shell out the dollars.  
And yes I know that you can buy the software and then return it, but 
that hassle is one more barrier to the purchase decision.
