Switching from FastRes 1200 to ProRes 1200 (141 lpi) (with the same
graphics setting) gets rid of the charcoal stick effect in the white
areas of pictures. However, a thin line (aaaarrrgh ...!) then appears
in the printout along the bottom and right-hand edges of certain
pictures.
Not good news because there have been problems with that kind of thing
in the past (both Windows and RISC OS).
PostScript should be more accurate - well with "direct PostScript"
turned on.
At one time, when you were developing Unicode support for OPW (I think),
we were advised not to use "direct PS", so I never got into the habit of
using it. I will try it out and see what happens.
But just to be clear ... the problems I've reported only appear in
printouts from a PDF file (derived from an OPW document), not when
printing to my lj1220 direct from the OPW document.
When I get closer to finishing this particular publication project, I
suppose I could send the publisher a sample PDF and ask them to check
for problems ... I presume they can do that, tho' I have little idea
what happens to a PDF file once it's sent to a publisher.
