Does anyone know what algorithm the Apple Laserwriter uses to smooth
out bitmap images like Macpaint files. If you do Print Draft, you get
one quality, if you do Print Final you get a much more smoother image.
The reason why I am asking is because when I take a macpaint file
and put it on my Dec Ln03 (laser printer, 300 dots/in, same as laserwriter)
my image resolution is same as what I get from Print Draft.
If anyone knows the answer please Email it to me. Thanks in advance
