[comp.lang.postscript] LaserJet III & Adobe PostScript ?

werner@aecom.yu.edu (Craig Werner) (07/11/90)

	The HP LaserJet III has adjustable dot pitch that it takes
advantage of with PCL5.  Does the HP Adobe cartridge also take advantage
of this feature?  Put another way, does the HP LaserJet III's PostScript
output differ from (is it better than) say a Apple LaserWriter or a
TI MicroLaser?

Yes.  According to HP's marketing poop the III does its anti-aliasing
as a post-process of whatever image has been rendered, and is supposed
to work with PostScript.
