That fact that producing the PostScript files was "fairly easy"
and the fact that you only have 72 dpi suggests you probably
took a "screen dump" of your graphics and sent that to the
PostScript file. While "fairly easy", this technique is
sure to disappoint, since the display screen is never
much more than 72 dpi.

If you issued normal IDL graphics commands to produce
your PostScript file, then I suspect the output resolution
will be as good as your output device supports. :-)

Cheers,

David
