To anyone who can point me in the right direction … I have a problem getting hold a printer here in the UK who can print from the AMIGA using Pro Page 3. The program is absolutely terrific to use but useless when it cannot be printed from properly. My format is A3 folded for 4 x A4 pages to a total of 16-20 A4 sized pages. A company called DTP BUREAU (Nottingham) has regularly printed my magazine but with every issue they make a hash of it with text missing, photos badly reproduced and grey scales altered. I'm really getting pissed off with them. They advertise in various AMIGA mags claiming to be able to print files from an AMIGA but they cannot print traced files from pro-page or pro-0draw nor can they print any of the GEORGE THOMSON Compugraphic font collections – not without making a mess of it. But recently I was advised not to use a video digitiser after being advised to buy the ColourPic Plus by them some months ago. They also said I would be better to use bitmap fonts in future rather than the compugraphic ones as they would be sure to print them out properly then!!! I need a company that can print the magazine which I give them without alteration or screw-up and would appreciate advice from anyone who can help me in locating such a printing company. In thanks, IAIN.
