*You* are puzzled!? You certainly have me scratching
my head.

I don't mean any disrespect, but I simply don't believe
you. :-)

I'm going to suggest that if your PostScript output
looks worse when it is printed than it does when it's
on the display, then the PostScript file hasn't been
created properly. In fact, I'm going to suggest there
is about a 90% chance that it is a screenshot (an image),
and NOT real PostScript output, which would be vector
output similar to your beloved CGM.

Perhaps if we could have a peek at the code you
use to produce this PostScript output. :-)

Cheers,

David
