But this assumes the PRINTER will make an exact "1:1" duplicate of the
artwork you "draw" on the screen! Without a special plotter DESIGNED for
that, how can this really happen? Just how accurate ARE these ink-jet
printers? I have a current HP 960c, and it is very fine doing photos in
color, but I have NO clue if it can "draw" say, a grid, of equal squares. I
will have to tinker! Hmmm... Jan Rowland
