I can beat that. I sent some mail to somebody at USC, 13 miles away (so they
could read it in their living room only 5 miles away) and it went via
Switzerland.

Then what are you going to do with it ?

I guess you could ship it over to a PostScript device as a bitmap
after doing the proper colour sep. computation. 4M is a lot of
bitmap though, and at seperation into 3 passes, 12M is one fuck
of a lot of data to ship around either by modem or by disk(s).

The only other alternative would be a Matrix or some other high
resolution film recorder.
