Well, personally, I would spend the money on a PostScript
printer. :-)

Encapsulated PostScript is kind of like that cold capsule
that is half sinus relief and half cold medicine. There
is the PostScript part of the file, which is only used
when the file is printed, and the screen version part,
(sometimes called the preview image) which is used to
give you something to look at in your document. That's
what you have been basing your PostScript views on.

But the preview is to real PostScript output as store-
bought tomatoes are to those you grow in the garden.
That is to say, they are the same in name only.

If you had a chance to print your output, you would
realize that immediately. Just as when you eat a real
tomato the juice always drips down your chin.

Cheers,

David
