Bob,

Perhaps they are misunderstanding your needs, thinking that you want 300
LINES PER INCH in stead of 2400 DOTS PER INCH from the imagesetter. Think
about it, a cheap desktop laser printer does 600 DPI! If your service
bureau is making film for any press jobs better than a supermarket ad on
newsprint, they HAVE to be outputting "normal" resolutions in the 2400 or
2540 range.

Check with them again to make sure you're comparing dots to dots.

Good luck and keep us posted!

Dan
