If you are getting better than 72dpi output, then that's as good as it gets. I am somewhat surprised at how poor the postscript greys look at 300dpi. Somewhere I read that there were only 20 distinct shades of grey available. I don't understand why there aren't 17 or 65 or some number like 2^n + 1. I have tried printing mathematica plots a NeXT laser printer at 400 dpi and the result looked about twice as good. I don't know if it generates grey scales differently, but it sure does a better job.
