Hello everyone,

Several groups at my university have been using Ledit to design masks
and then sending postscript output files to local printers for mask
printing.  We recently started using a new version of Ledit (7.12) and
the resolution on the postscript output files is no longer
high enough for our purposes (we want 4800 dpi- the same resolution we
were getting before).  I talked to the people at Tanner and they
confirmed that the maximum resolution on postscript output files was
lowered from 4800 dpi to 1600 dpi.  They have not produced any printer
drivers with higher resolution (they say that only a couple of people
have asked about it), and there are none currently in development.

I was wondering if anyone out there has found a way around this problem
(created their own drivers, found GDS2 to postscript output converters,
or anything else).  The printers we use are not specifically into mask
fabrication, so convincing them to accept a different output format
would be very difficult.

Thanks in advance,

Mike
