What applications do you support?

Why
don’t you support my favorite application?
To produce output from a specific application, we need a driver which supports our
devices. For Microsoft Windows and Macintosh applications, we have developed a driver which works with
most (but not all) applications. Some applications do not support any of
our output devices, therefore creating images from these applications is extremely
difficult. Additionally, some software insist on non-standard
printing techniques which make them unusable on our systems.

Why do my PCX files look 'chunky'?
PCX images belong to a group called raster images, along with TIFF,
TARGA, Windows Bitmaps
and others. These files are saved on a pixel-by-pixel basis and depend highly upon the
resolution (pixel per inch) at which they were saved. A low resolution image will
appear 'blocky', especially on high resolution output devices.
Most printers use 4 inks (cmyk) so if you know
the output resolution (Dots Per Inch) you can divide that number
by 4 to get the maximum Pixels Per Inch for your image. The only time
you can safely create pixels is when scanning an image or taking a
digital photograph. If you try to increase pixels using software such as
PhotoShop, you will make your image "blurry" instead of "chunky" A good target resolution
for output on our large printers is 150 PPI (Pixels Per Inch). |
