chagrin - thanks for the reply!

it seems i have 2 choices - either trying to try and use a mix of regular plotter CNC software with 4-color seperations run into a "raster to vector" convertor

or to write my own raster based software. this is preferable because it will be fun. if the program starts in the uper left corner of the image and reads to the right, it can scan the image as the painthead reproduces the dots..

how would i just use a .bmp? is there a good source of info on this type of coding?

- what is that provess called in the code you wrote, where can i learn more about it? is there a way to use it with CMYK values instead of RGB?

i can iamgine easily getting the thing to move (x)steps to the left for each pixel, and (x) step forward to advance to he next line, then seeing what color is in that cell, and sending the command to a program in a PICmicro that mixes the paint and produces the dot, send a "go forward" command and then it does it again.


thanks....
