- my situation is this: i have access to an Agfa Color Pro film recorder hooked
- up to a Macintosh (in another lab, but with right to use). i'm sometimes
- asked to design slides, but really prefer to do them on a NeXT and walk them
- over. The film recorder runs under Conductor (Agfa), and really wants input
- files to be in TIFF or PICT format. I can do this on the NeXT, making 24 bit
- TIFFs, but get unacceptable cases of the jaggies when the bitmaps are scaled
- up to fit the slide (and a 3K by 2K by 24bit deep TIFF isn't going to fit on a
- floppy). What i would LIKE to do is get the Agfa to inderstand PostScript.
- Do i have any options of getting PostScript into the film recorder, like with
- alternate driver software? The thing handles PICTs and i can convert to PICT,
- but vectors are converted to raster, and the problem's the same.
