plotting HP 488ca

Question

We are plotting VW2008 to an antique HP 488ca. The feature of using layer opacity in viewports does not seem to plot other than at 100% even if dialed down to 5%.

Anyone else experiencing this? Our old MO was to create a grey layer, explode all elements and use a grey color with fine, dashed lines. We'ld like to take advantage of this feature if possible...

Older non-postscript printers simply were incapable of recognizing alpha channel gradient maps. VW2008 uses the OSX Quartz GPU engineer to create stunning alpha with excellent display image depth requiring sophisticated 32bit algorithms. Sending this information on over to a legacy 8bit driver can be problematic ; )
