It is doubtful that you will be able to obtain what you are looking for on a 
300 dpi printer. Output MIGHT be better on some of the newer printers that use 
dots with variable pitch. We've had the same problem and with Half-Tones. To 
get the appearance you want - you may have to have it printed out on Varityper 
or Lino with at lesat 1200 dpi.
