Using a dig. tablet we cleaned up the images, which were then suitable for printing (or engraving, in our case). A tremendous, time-consuming hassle which requires a thorough knowledge of the CAD software, as well as a certain "knack" -- which my wife has, but I never quite got the hang of it :>( Glen Goodwin 0/0
