Well, if you don't mind it's being smaller, you can certainly scale the image so that it falls more neatly into multiples of 300 dpi (note that you can do this without being device-dependent; it just happens to look a little better at 300dpi resolutions). Nothing fancy about it, but it will look more crisp, I'm sure: %! 240 300 div dup scale % your program here Glenn Reid Adobe Systems
