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). Paul
