George, ESRI is a privately held company that makes GIS (geographic information systems, i.e. maps, satellite photos, etc) software. go to http://www.esri.com/index.html for more details. They are the big dogs in the yard in this business. I believe their software is compatible with many graphical standards for output devices (printers, plotter, etc). Also there is a Open GIS Consortium that is actively developing open standards for that industry. ESRI is a part of that.
Like our marketing guys, I think they are just looking for another market to sell output devices to. The GIS market is very demanding of quality reproduction in their output devices. Hope this helps. Contact me directly if I can be of more help. Regards, Richard Cass Iris Graphics, Inc.

I am fielding a question from our marketing folks as the person who usually handles what I call "weird" standards questions is on vacation. The requestor thought that ESRI has something to do with GIS. Neither acronym rings a bell for me.
