This is the biggest of my plugins for ArtEffect2/3+.

PostScript-Print is a Printer-PlugIn for the famous Image-Manipulation-Program
ArtEffect2+. As a normal PlugIn it integrates seamlessly in ArtEffect's menu
and waits happily for your attention.

It is able to produces PostScript files which are suitable for printing
directly or placing (with EPS on) in a program such as PageStream3.

It is mainly written to print pictures directly out of ArtEffect to a PostScript
printer or to save on disk for later printing or placing.

Since no other Amiga program (except my dt2ps (AFAIK)) produces
such small output files, printing is normally faster than with any other
program. Because the parallel port of Amiga (and even most I/O-Cards) is slow
and the main bottleneck for any recent printer.
