I haven't seen those at all. I can say that printing .tex
files via dvips results in quality as good as that
from a $1500 DEC postscript laser printer (model 5100?)
but maybe not as fast. Two-up listings are also pretty good
with just a bit of quantization on the teeny letters.
I also tried some of the color postscript files in the
ghostscript examples area: pretty nice for the price.
This mornings newpaper had an article on paper for jet
printers and said that the really high quality paper
makes a huge difference in color print quality. I'm using
medium grade Hammermill Jetprint (about $7/500).
