Generally speaking, you get better graphics results by plotting to the final graphics device rather than plotting to the screen and copying somewhere, because the graphics system makes some choices based on the target device capabilities, and those choices might not be appropriate on a different device. I notice lines are often too thin when printed from a plot on screen, for example.
