Can someone explain Screen resolution VS Print Resolution. I'm trying to set up "ComicSetter" to produce the best hardcopy and I'm lost. Using the new 1.3 preferences, I can select my print resolution (I have an Epson LQ800 24 pin) up to 360×180 dpi but since the screen size is limited to 1008×1008 pixels, the "page" I can work on becomes very small. At lower print resolutions, the "screen page" is larger. Other questions… is there any advantage to working at high resolution? The graphics included on the art disks are med-res, which are distorted on a high-res screen. Will they print better if drawn on a high-res screen? The program has graphic scaling abilities, would adjusting the graphics so they look proportioned correctly on a high-res screen print correctly? BTW, version 1.0 has a bug in the print function. The bug is the program doesn't print (at all). This make experimenting hard <grin>. I would appreciate any and all advice. Thanks, George
