Brad, I appreciate the quality and need for higher resolution output. I just want to get a clearer picture of what is being done and how. I suspected finer toner and special paper were part of the answer. What about the difference in the hardware? If a laser printer puts electrical charges on a rotating drum, how does an imagesetter work? Is it like a camera or a photocopier? I don't want a technical answer, just the general principle. What does the stat camera do? Who knows what comps are? Does it have the same meaning as proofs? ( I know you said not to ask, but I'm hoping someone else will know.) Thanks for the info. on color. I have read at least part of the thread "print 1 color ovr anothr." Interesting. They mention overprinting. What's that? Also, if immagesetters don't provide color, how is proofing done for color? Does postcript provide the information for the color specifications of is that handled by the graphics program? And is there a common standard which allows me to create specific colors on the page with my computer, which, even though the colors might not be exacty reproduced on screen, or on a color laser printer, will print true on a printing press? Sorry to hear you have no place for a hoop. Prehaps you can get one for the wastebasket. My wife grew up in Stonybrook on the island.
