If so, what you specify is a bit dangerous, since the conditions under which the document might print might have a different matrix from when the preamble was executed. This would be the case on some printers if the paper tray changed. It would also be the case on some products if the printing resolution changed between PostScript files. - Geof Cooper IMAGEN (is a subset of QMS)
