RE: Print files

And to append to James comment, when you send these to a
laser printer the font will usually be converted by the
printer to accomodate the page size...at least in my
experience :)

She has a printfile that has 208 columns so she wants to

make the printfile

width equal to the CPI times the page width in inches (20 x

11 = 220). Does

the page width not equal to 220 and a CPI of 20 cause any

problems that

anyone knows of?

Hmm. I think that if you do that with a print file that's untimately
going to be converted to a PDF, you might end up with an odd
sheet size
in the PDF.
