In Epitaph One we see that the modern light-and-sound imprint chair came by Topher's improvements. The original was a bunch of pads and wires, like Alpha's imprinting chair. He knows less than Topher about efficient imprinting, and Topher didn't know enough to do a remote wipe. Epitaph One tells us that at some point people figured out how to do remote wipes and imprints using almost any audio or visual signal. I think we still haven't seen the person who invented that.

* It's possible that Alpha could do a remote wipe, but the mass imprint required the chair. Granted, Alpha's own mass imprint was done without wires, but there were some nasty side effects (like the personalities fighting for control) that Alpha hoped to invert with EchoOmega, which required the chair for a procedure that even Topher wouldn't perform.
* Potentially er... something as of A Love Supreme. Topher invents a way to do it. Alpha -also- figured out a way to do but his method required pre-existing programming (or maybe he just needed the distraction).
* Topher had been approached by Adelle prior about creating a remote wipe, other house techs probably were as well. The LA house is much more ethical in the treatment of dolls than other houses as shown by the contrasting D.C. house. Another house could have developed the tech through much less ethical testing and alpha could have hacked in and stolen it or he could have figured out how to do it alone. Bennett could be capable. When Alpha 'ascended' he made the reference to hell implying that he now had full perspective on all the things that he saw as a doll. Also Victor states in "Needs" that he's always awake while in doll state, but that he can't get out, implying that his mind is fully active but suppressed by active arcitecture. Alpha could have studied Topher's imprinting techniques while suppressed. Alpha's chair probably uses wire input because of the availability and price of the instruments as he is living under the radar. Alpha's chair also transfers multiple imprints via wire about as fast as topher's epifluorescent chair implying much better implementation.
