[fa.laser-lovers] cifplot for laser printers

     I was wondering whether anyone has coverted cifplot to work on a
300 dpi laser printer (QMS preferably, or Imagen.) I am hoping for a version
that allows the laser printer to do the layer stippling, as it would reduce
both the VAX cpu load and the communications time.

thanks in advance.

We converted cifplot to work with an Imagen Imprint 10 printer.
The Impress language nicely supports the primitives required for
stipling, etc., needed by cifplot.

Unfortunately there were bugs in the Imagen firmware (v1.8),
and so plots of any complexity came out wrong.  These problems were
reported to Imagen some time back, but I am not sure whether they were
ever fixed.
