I know because until 6 months ago, I used a 4014 to preview output from a graphics rendering program I wrote (using dither of a greyscale'd raster file)-- it is *painfull*. I had no choice since it was even more painfull to get the raster file to the only place I could see it in it's full glory. Since you have a choice, (a nearby laserprinter I assume), I'd just print it off. Mike Gigante, RMIT, Australia
