[comp.sys.amiga] High Quality Printing

ferg@pnet01.cts.com (John Ferguson) (09/04/89)

Problem: I would like to get high quality printouts of a bit mapped image I
         created with Deluxe Paint III (meaning no jaggies & perfect circles).
  For example...I've created a picture (company logo really) with Deluxe Paint
  3 and would like to get output to a Linotronics printer.  Is there a way to
  convert a bit mapped image to the quality of postscript or structured
  drawing?  So when printed on the Linotronics it comes out as high a quality
  as something created with PageStream and output to postscript.  

               In other words, I am looking for a minor miracle... :)

The reason for doing it this way is I have found a font that I like but it is
not compatible with PageStream or any structured DTP or drawing program.  It
is just a standard AmigaDOS font.  The logo requires that particular font
along with several circles and the output must be of the highest quality.  As
we all know, Deluxe Paint drawings do not output without jaggies.
I know what I am asking CAN be done on a Macintosh, but who wants to work on a
Mac when you (I) have an Amiga 2500??? 

In short, what do I need to convert bit mapped images into something of good
enough quality for the Linotronics?  Your help will be most appreciated.
Please respond via E-Mail as the traffic here is getting too large for me to
keep up on a daily basis.
