Graphics inside Word documents not printing high-resolution

[Sumit Nagpal]

Having trouble getting graphics (images, logos) embedded inside word
documents printing properly - have had this problem from Office X all the
way through the 10.1.3 update

When I print, or do a print preview, the images appear pixelated - even
though the source images are a) eps files or b) 1200dpi tiff images or c)
1200dpi bmp images

Is there any setting I am missing to make these images print at the highest
resolution possible?

Thanks

(a) eps is broken in Word. They will print OK to a Postscript printer
but look borked in PDF or Preview. A non-postscript printer will
prabably barf too. What happens is that the low res on-screen
placeholder is handed over to the printer instead of the eps.

(b) and (c) should print and preview OK, if exceedingly slowly due to
their vast size. (for suitable low values of 'ok')

Try eliminating your printer by seeing what they look like as PDF.

Try printing the1200 bpi images from another program such as Photoshop
or GrpahicConverter. If they print OK then I don't know what Word is
doing to them.

I have never been able to find the button that says 'print eps to PDF
properly' or any other button to control graphics quality. I dimly
remember another thread that advised using a different proprietary
Microsoft bitmap format for line art. Let's see what Googling the group
does?
yep. Lots of threads in there. Too numerous to summarize.

Google is an excellent resource.
