I do ps->eps conversions using: echo -n '\004' | gs -q -dNOPAUSE -sDEVICE=epswrite \ -sOutputFile=box.eps box.ps >/dev/null
using box.ps below. When box.ps is printed, it comes out as a 1mm thick 1" box (quite dark). When box.eps is printed, the lines are very thin (perhaps .2mm) and faint. This is when printing to a postscript printer hp2100tn. I think if you are using gs via magicfilter for a non-ps printer, the printout is ok. Does anyone know why this is the case? The problem is that when I my ps files in a latex document most lines are too faint, and the thickness is varying as if I had an aliasing error. Using ps2epsi doesn't seem to help either. I am using gs_5.50-6_i386.deb Thanks, Mark. box.ps - from postscript.tar.gz on the net somewhere. %! %% Draws a one square inch box and inch in from the bottom left /inch {72 mul} def newpath 1 inch 1 inch moveto 2 inch 1 inch lineto 2 inch 2 inch lineto 1 inch 2 inch lineto closepath stroke showpage
