Sorry, haven't seen such a thing but can't they (the printing vendors) accept postscript as well? I know some (academic) publishers requires you to use specially formatted TeX templates which, of course, is not the same thing but I would be surprised if the printshop wouldn't accept postscript since the resulting dvi files (from the *TeX output) are usually translated to postscript (or maybe I'm behind the times...). Postscript is a vector format (all text, figures and pictures [if the picture source is in vector format] are made up of lines and bezier curves). HTH Best regards Peter K
