This is a well known problem with the LN03.  It does help to get more memory
cartridges (at ~$500 for 128K!).  The real solution, though, is to get the
upgrade to the LN03+.  After doing that, you graphics can be as complex as
you want (there are still problems with the basic LN03 even with two 
RAM cartridges).  Further, you get full 300 dpi, tek-compatible (almost)
graphics.
