Yes this is a good solution and it may meet my paper's deadline! I'll 
use Acrobat's Illustrator and Distiller with those settings. I may be 
able to reshape my data too, such that I am graphing fewer sersets, 
e.g.,

graph tw (scatter y1 x if ...) (scatter y2 x if ...)

is 2 sersets

where

reshape ...

graph tw (scatter y1 y2 x)

might be considered one serset. I'm not sure of this, however.

Thanks!
