Maybe I didn't make sense.  You could do bitmaps up to 900dpi and send the
bitmaps down to a film recorder.  That's pretty good resolution if you ask
me.  I know nothing about PS-film recorders, but if it has a RIP (a
PostScript interpreter) built into it, then you should be able to send
PostScript *code* to it and get any resolution that the recorder can
physically do.  Does that make sense?  So if you've got a PS-film recorder
with a RIP built into it, then you're stylin', otherwise, you could to up
to 900 dpi.
