Printing to postscript [message #11264]

Hi - I'm a bit new to IDL and would like some advice on
printing greyscale filled contour plots so that they can
be imported into Microsoft Word. The plots are drawn using
the 'B-W Linear' colour table on the unix version of IDL 4.

I've currently got IDL to print encapsulated postscript
files, but when printed out the colour (grey) range isn't
as large as it should be, i.e. it goes from black to medium
grey instead of black to white. I've checked the data and the
code, the full range of the colour table should definitely be
in the graphs, and indeed is apparent when the same plot is
sent to the screen. Does anyone have any idea what's going
wrong?

Also, as these are quite large arrays I'm printing, the eps
files are huge (2MB plus); is there no alternative to eps
for importing graphs into word?

Thanks in advance
