It's always been the case that different printers will produce different results. It's not because of print resolution, but because of different rendering engines. A PostScript printer will produce different output from the same Finale file than a PCL printer. A PCL 6 printer may produce different output than a PCL 5 printer. Certainly printers running in PCL emulation modes (i.e., non-HP printers) will often have imperfect implementations of PCL and not render exactly the same as a genuine HP printer running in the same PCL mode. I encountered this years and years ago when doing temp work, and found that the client's chosen logo font printed fine on HP printers, but the new Epson printer (running in PCL emulation mode) produced much thicker letters that rendered the logo font so completely differently that it was just completely unacceptable. -- David W.
