I think the market is waiting for an NR... sideways patern has developed and if you look close enough you may see a descending triangle pattern which could mean a coiled breakout like with GEM when it was trading in the .60's. I hav eincreased my position in this stock. My only concern is the jbig technology, is it state of the art? I know eFax has been getting many users to their site recently, and if this agreement/deal goes through with ipz, we should see the price appreciate maybe even a run up.... notice the stairway pattern developing in the last 10 days... signs are there, lets hope the market agrees.

Has anyone here actually been using IPZ products? I downloaded the Power Compressor product and have been comparing it's JBIG2 format with standard TIFF imaging. I have found the compression is excellent and the quality of the image is acceptable but not as good as the standard TIFF. The quality vs compression controls in Power Compressor don't seem to make much difference. eg. I scanned a document today (line art 200 dpi) using MS Imaging saved as TIFF format. I then scanned the same document using Power Compressor saved as JBIG2. The results are as follows: TIFF size = 57,724 bytes, JBIG2 size = 17,844 bytes. The compression controls were the default 48 for compression and 116 for wavelets. Although I would consider the JBIG2 image acceptable there is no question it was not as crisp as the TIFF image. In particular it seemed to have trouble with O characters. Several O's were printed as D. In one case the word BLOOR came out looking something like BLDOR. The quality issue is very important if this compression is to be used in a FAX service. Where faxes are concerned I want quality over compression anyday. Anyone else have any experiences to share regarding IPZ products?

October 6, 1998 I know this is old news but is just signifies this is a long term solid company. I know for a fact XEROX CORP. has changed their corp. strategy to move towards digital & imaging mkt. vs. just copiers. If they are talking interested in IPZ technology, then that is just great ! ! ! THIS IS GOOD: imagepower.com At the August meeting of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) Internet Fax Work Group, Xerox announced that it will begin interoperability testing on a new imaging standard called TIFF-FX, with Image Power, Genoa Systems and Delta Info Services. TIFF-FX consolidates several still image coding standards (G3, G4, JBIG, JPEG, MRC) under one common file format. In addition to providing the coding standard for Internet fax, it is expected that this standard will be widely accepted for the coding of mixed content documents for Internet and desktop applications. While there is no direct sales revenue to be derived from this work, Image Power expects that the development efforts associated with the testing will provide it with a technical lead in entering the Internet imaging and other related markets. Additional information on TIFF-FX is available at www.xerox.com/research/xac/.
