I spent sometime to do more testing, and my original report was incorrect. Since I am not used to doing this on Windows side, I didn't catch that Acrobat PDF Writer defaults to 96 dpi, and it won't stick. I then selected 600 dpi. The result was much better than I initially had: <http://www.a-no-ne.com/pdfTest/> Now the printouts on HP 5MP Postscript (yes, I use PS driver on Win2K) is identical between MacOSX, Win2K, and the source Finale file. I tested this with original that was created with both WinFin2005 and MacFin2005a, and saw no difference. HOWEVER: The screen display is terrible on the one created from WinFin2005, and is consistent on both platforms. My result does coincide with some reports we have seen. I was wondering this is because I use PS printer driver on Windows side? Oh, by the way, HP 5MP is on my intranet via Netgear Printer Server. Just for the heck of it, I printed them out to Epson Stylus Color N850 on my network. They still printed out fine, not like what I see on the screen. On this, however, I won't call them identical. The one created with Mac OSX printed much smoother slurs, while straight lines are pretty identical. -- - Hiro Hiroaki Honshuku, A-NO-NE Music, Boston, MA <http://a-no-ne.com> <http://anonemusic.com> _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [email protected] http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
