- I ended up taking my copies of NIIM to a company with a high-speed PostScript
- printer capable of imaging on both sides of a page. Still, it would be nice if
- these kinds of shenanigans weren't necessary.
-
- BTW, big kudos to the folks at Xerox for their work on the Docutech system. I
- was able to print out all of NIIM in just under two hours, double-sided,
- 600-DPI!
-
- Now if Apple could just get the text in those things to line up right!
