Michael: Thanks for the input. I've changed the colors to 16 and everything works fine, except I do notice the program reacts a little slower now. As for equipment, I've got an A2000 with an 030. Gray box: I do set the screen frequency when I DL to lino. I specify in the order form that I want 128 frequency and a 45 deg. screen angle for the whole doc. In addition, I always set these params. when I import a PostScript image, but I can't do so in the Edit Coordinates requester for a non-PS image. Even on my 600 dpi HP4 I notice that black text is beautiful and jaggie-free, but anything done in gray just doesn't have the same resolution. Suggestions? Thanks again, Carson

16 color mode is slower: yes, the more colors you use, the slower your Amiga will be. This is true of all programs, not just PageStream. Use 4 color for normal work, and 8 or 16 color modes when you need it. Gray: remember that gray is created by generating a screen. It can't be as smooth as solid black. If you think you're having a problem beyond this, please send in a sample for me to look at. Cheers, Michael @ Soft-Logik Publishing
