From some test prints, I saw that the DPI isn't going to matter very much,
so I went with 250 DPI to save some rendering time. However, it's taking
almost as long to print as it did to render. The image is about 200 MB
(uncompressed), but the computer hooked up to the plotter only has 128 MB of
RAM and a PII processor. I keep getting memory errors, but it takes about
an hour before I get one :( I gave up on the 60x20" and am now trying to
print a 48x16" image at 250 dpi...we'll see how it goes.
Watching the progress bar inch along 1% at a time,
