[[[about limited number of gray levels when printing]]]

The answer is you can change the number of gray levels by using the
setscreen command.  The trade off is that to get more gray levels you
have to increase the spot size.  For a 300 dpi printer, I believe the
default screen setting gives 37 shades of grey (36 pixels per spot).

For more information look at back issues of Computer Shopper and look
at the "Ask the Guru" column by Don Lancaster.
