Using contour in postscripts produces a "stripe" effect? [message #65622]

I was hoping that someone could help.

When I create contour plots in the postscript device, they always seem
to contain some manner of "striping".

My code looks like:

SET_PLOT, 'ps'

loadct, 39
!p.color=0
!p.background=255

filename = 'contour.eps'
DEVICE, FILENAME=filename, /COLOR, BITS_PER_PIXEL=8, /ENCAPSULATED, /
PORTRAIT, XSIZE=18, YSIZE=8, XOFFSET=5, YOFFSET=2

contour,mean,lons,heights, /cell_fill, yrange=[300,50], xrange=
[-175,175], levels=lev, ystyle=1, xstyle=1
, position=[0.1,0.15,0.85,0.9], charsize=1, charthick=2

DEVICE, /CLOSE

Hopefully you can see from the image here what I mean:

Anyone any ideas what I'm doing wrong?
