[comp.sys.amiga.applications] Halftoning and Professional Page 1.3

6600quin@ucsbuxa.ucsb.edu (Quintin Doroquez) (06/04/91)

I am an owner of ProPage 1.3 and a DeskJet 500.  I
have been very happy with the production of
hardcopies that come out with my Amiga.  However,
being that I do not have a postscript machine, I
cannot print halftoned images using my DeskJet.

My questions are:  Does Ppage 2.0 take care of this?
Are there any graphics programs that do half toning
where I can import them as IFF files (I really don't
like the cheesy output of DigiPaints LineArt mode)?

Thanks.

Get ahold of a program for HP Deskjet owners called DJ Helper. This
dramatically increases the abilities of the printer to print half-tones and
grey scales. It's a VAST improvement on the standard C= DJ driver. The
company that makes the program is in Port Crane NY I believe. Can't help
ya anymore on it. Sorry. I do know it works wonders though.

I agree. DJHelper is a marvelous addition to any DeskJet owner's software
library. The company is named 
               
                    Creative Focus
                       Box 580
                 Chenango Bridge, N Y
                      13745-0580
