Lu; I use an HP-4M with PgS on an Amiga 3000. I am not all that sure how large the PostScript file would be but I imagine that it would be large since most of my source files are 100K+. I just checked one of the smaller files (120K) by printing it to disk and it comes out as about 1.2Meg. I recall this file taking something less than 10 minutes to print. In fact if memory is correct (don't trust it, I don't <g>) this file prints in about 5 minutes. I do have some that take around 30 minutes to print out but they really are pretty large files. As far as the 4M and PgS is concerned, I would be very hard pressed to find anything that I do not like about the combination other than the awkardness when dealing with undersized paper. It is sometimes difficult to set up initially for paper that is not 8.5×11 but it is consistant once you get it right. I print a fair number of 8×10 certificates (directly on engraved certificate stock) and have NO problems. The HP-4M has done more to improve my productivity with PgS than anything besides the accelerated machine. The combination is a real joy. Mistakes are mine and not due to program or printer problems. -bill
