i tried asking in comp.graphics, but thought i'd try here.. i want to print images done on a NeXT with Illustrator, Create, etc. on an Agfa Color Pro slide maker. Only problem is the film recorder is tied to a Mac and runs the Agfa Conductor software. It accepts PICT or TIFF files (24-bit, no compression), but the TIFFs i make on the NeXT all come out jagged. Michael Johnson suggested i make really big images and scale them down, but there's a limit to what i can fit onto a 1.4 Meg floppy, and they take a long time to transfer over (neither machine is networked). what i'd LIKE to do is save in EPS or PS format and get the recorder to print them. smaller files, smoother lines. but the Agfa people won't even talk on the phone (Boo! to their customer service). question- is there any other software (for Macintosh) that will drive the recorder and accept PostScript? (or a way to convert into its native SCODL language and feed that directly into the box?) ------------------------------------------------------------------ |Glenn Holm Internet:karuzis@wccf.mit.edu| |M.I.T Dept. of Brain + Cog.
