Away you go! The problem with this last procedure is that the printed image will be that of the coarse bitmap that is present as the so-called preview in the PICT resource of the EPS file. If you want to have a high resolution image, you will need a PostScript interpreter on your Macintosh. I know of two such packages that will work with the Montage Fimrecorder: Freedom of Press from Custom Applications Professional Output Manager from Visual Business I have worked with the latter one (which is specifically for color printers and film recorders) and got very nice results with EPSF files.
