I've been living with this for a year now, but it's getting increasingly
annoying, and I don't know if anyone else uses this feature or cares.

What were you trying to do?

I make screendumps for inclusion in minicourse slides, advertisements,
docments etc.  I put them into EZ docs as rasters, or print them
directly.

What's wrong:

Ever since we went to color and grayscale workstations, these screen
dumps have been STIPPLED with dots, even on pictures of all white or all
black areas.  I can't really use pictures with this degraded quality in
my work.

What should have happened:

Screen dumps should look okay when printed, or inserted as EZ rasters and
printed.


Please describe any relevant documentation references:
