[comp.lang.postscript] PhoenixPage PostScript

	Has anyone experienced any PostScript problems using PhoenixPage,
a "complete emulation of ... PostScript v50.3 ..." (according to a handout
for Seiko's ColorPointPS thermal transfer color printer which uses it.)

Thanks

I have been testing various PS color printers (QMS,NEC and Seiko)
and find in general they all work fine. I have found that the Seiko clone PS
is actually better at printing complex objects that have a gradient fill, 
(blending of color from a start color to a finish color). I am not sure why
the clone does a better job (in fact QMS & NEC both crap out) unless Seiko is
using less than 300 DPI, or maybe they don't 'flatten' like they others.
Whatever, I'd recommend that you create as complex a picture as possible and
get the salesman to show you a printout!
