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
