It was pretty universal. I got 3 suggestions to call Graphics + Plus in
Culver City as being a good source of Typesetter output from PostScript
in L.A.

It's a pretty slick racket. They have a BBS that you call and upload
your file. Allegedly it was supposed to ask you a bunch of other things,
but all I could get it to do is Log Off or Upload a File. Which
is fine. I uploaded the file on a friday night about midnight.

I called the next day, about 11 ish.

``Hi. Are you guys open today?''

``Uhh...no, not really.''

``Oh. Too bad. I was wondering if I could pick up some output''

``Oh sure, come on down. I though you wanted something complicated.''

I went down there and sure enough they were closed, and my output
was taped to the door in a plastic bag.

The artwork I was doing needed (as you may have guessed) legal sized
paper.

I *of course* wanted 2540 DPI.

Their miserable Linotronic 300 **wouldn't do** 2540 DPI on legal paper.

``Why not'' I asked.

``Dunno man, it bombs''. 

Oh


Is this normal ? Is there ANY device that can do 2540 DPI on legal 
paper ?


I opened my package. I looked at it.

Sheesh I thought. This is hardly better than the laser output. I can STILL
see the dots in the halftones.

Until I actually compared the two. The laser output looks like it was
done with crayons in comparison.

Highly recomended.


Unrelated question: I just got a brand factory new toned cartridge and
installed it. Changed the fuzzy brush thing too. Now my output
doesnt come out as black as it used to for 3/4" solid black squares.
They *used* to be pretty much solid black. Now, with this new
toner, they're a little light in the middle. Any ideas ?


P.S. to Milo. This is your modem talking.
