[comp.lang.postscript] Raster to PS

wolfson@news.miami.edu (micheal wolfson) (06/21/91)

I've been creating rastor images on a Sun Spark system
and have successfully used psraster to obtain a dithered
Postscript file which is printed out via laserwriter.
My department just purchased a Tektronix Phaser II Px
color printer.  I was wondering how difficult it is going
to be to create color Postscript files from my Sun rastor
files for this device.  Should I assume nothing like psraster
exists?

No, use sun2ps, posted recently in alt.sources. Works both in color and in
mono!
