Dear Klaus,

how did you measure this?

and how did you have produced this 72dpi file. Did you have used direct
graphics or object graphics?

Which version of idl did you use?

set_plot,'ps'
plot,findgen(10)
device,/close
set_plot,'X'

This gives a postscript file by directgraphics. It would be printed fine
on a 300dpi printer as well on a 1200dpi printer.

Normally Postscript is a vector driven format, so the printer knows how
to print it in differnt dpi's.

regards

Reimar
