- I have similiar problems printing EPS files from my Deskwriter.
- The problem is when you make something in Illustrator it comes up on the screen
- in Quickdraw. The images are "clean" when you draw them. The Stylewriter along
- with the HP Deskwriter is a Quickdraw printer. Everything is fine there, when
- you export the file to EPS it is converted to Poscript. Illustator only gives it
- a rough Quickdraw representation (Quickdraw is also the format you mac uses to
- display images on the screen). So when you print it out in Word on you
- stylewriter you only get that rough quickdraw image. If that file was printed on
- a Postscript device such as the Laserwriter, it would come out "clean." Another
- solution would be to buy an interperator program such as Freedom of the Press. I
- don't know much about it other than it will fix your problem. It costs something
- like $80 and I'm considering purchasing it myself. Does that make sense?
