Internet sources state that the "Mona by the Numbers" image was done on

My recollection of the ML was that it was a
FORTRAN program with data cards. It took quite a while to print even on a fast (512) line
printer because of the multiple overstrikes (those can really bog a printer down).
Was that Mona Lisa in the CHM / VCF exhibit done on a plotter or a printer?
I have no doubt there were overstrike or printed versions, but I thought
that one had something different about it.
