I think Art was saying that the relationship between pixels in the file and dots on the page isn't clear cut because the dither pattern used by the printer driver is random and therefore undoes some of the regularity of the pixels. The print ends up looking smoother than say a monitor image because the printer shadings aren't constructed as rectilinear sharp edged objects but random spots of colour. Rob
