I'm thinking of buying a HP Laserjet III. HP makes much, in its advertising, of the Laserjet III's new rasterization technology: the printer's resolution is only 300 dpi, but it allegedly scales the size of dots as needed to improve the appearance of the printed page. I'm a bit skeptical of that, because I plan on printing nothing but PostScript. That means I'll be plugging in a PostScript cartridge (HP's, or the PacificPage cartridge, or ...). Do available PostScript cartridges actually support the new rasterization scheme? If I print text in Times-Roman, say, will the printed dots actually be scaled in size to improve the appearance of the character outlines? If so, will this be true of all cartridges, even third-party ones? -- Robert S.
