Commenting about a high density DEGAS printer program, John Kawakami says: >Please, DON'T USE THIS PROGRAM! DENSITY.PRG will almost certainly destroy >your printhead. There must be a better way, like using all 8 pins, pushing >the paper 2/3 a dot, and making another pass. Each pin will do 1/8 of the >work. Actually, DENSITY.PRG allows you to select which pin is used to make the printout, and the Help File instructs you to rotate the pin used for each printout done... assuming you did 8 pictures and selected a different pin each time, each pin would end up doing the same amount of work as if all 8 were used.. Of course, it's up to the user to remember to change pins, and the real problem would arise when you only wanted to make one printout and didn't bother to change pins before doing it.. On the other hand, the program works well, and is available now... BobR
