Bodi are actual output using a
Hewleu-Packard
DeskJet
ink
jet printer.
PageStream
creates characters
using
scalable
outline font
technology.
This
means
that
you get smooth output on any
printer. And isn't perfect output what desktop
publishing is
all about?
You see, each character
is made up
of a
mathematical outline and
a
fill.
The
curves and
lines
of each character are
much like
a
plot
of
points on
a
graph.
PageStream sends
the
outline
to
the
printer and then directs it
to
fill in the
outline
at
its
ma
ximum
resolution.
The
result
is as smooth as you
see above.
Well
this calls for some
serious computing.
But isn't
that
why you
bought
an Amiga?
PageStream
goes
right
to
the
core
power
of
your
Amiga
because it is
written in assembly
language.
Its speed is exhilarating!
What
is power
without grace? PageStream
has
a
uniquely intuitive
interface. We
have
created
animated representations within
the
dialog boxes.
This makes
using the many powerful features a
breeze.
You can
see
what effect each change will
have
before you click
OK.
And,
PageStream
is free-form.
This means that
you are not limited to
boxes
for text or
graphics.
Just
place a graphic or begin
typing
anywhere on
the page.
PageStream has the
typographic,
graphic, and word
processing
tools you
need
with
the
speed to back
them up.
Powerful tools, smooth ouput, and it will run
on
a 512K system!. That's PageStream.

pleasure.
