[magick-users] postscript printer dpi question

[Ross Presser]

First of all, Ghostscript is not involved unless your SOURCE file is
Postscript or PDF.  If the DESTINATION file is Postscript, then ImageMagick
does its stuff without even talking to an Postscript delegate.

It may be obvious but have you used the -density option? What commandline
are you using exactly?
