Then what are you going to do with it ? I guess you could ship it over to a PostScript device as a bitmap after doing the proper colour sep. computation. 4M is a lot of bitmap though, and at seperation into 3 passes, 12M is one fuck of a lot of data to ship around either by modem or by disk(s). The only other alternative would be a Matrix or some other high resolution film recorder. -- Point of light #999 richard@gryphon.CTS.COM {backbone...err, well connected site}!gryphon!richard

Well, here... hold it a minute while I think. So many possibilities... (1) Send it to a printer, one color at a time. (2) Send it to a postscript printer, ditto. (3) Page it through CHIP to use it as the background for a videogame. (4) Page it through CHIP under MIDI control for a video. So it's gonna be slow... big deal. It took a while to generate in the first place. Leave the computer and printer on all weekend. With a BIG UPS. Take it to a Mac user group and threaten to tell them what sort of computer does work like this :->. -- Peter da Silva `-_-' peter@sugar.uu.net Have you hugged U your wolf today?
