placed image exports to Cgm fuzzy

Good morning, we have created a tiff from photoshop CS6. Then we open isodraw, place the tiff image, lines look good everything is crisp.

Then we export to cgm. Place cgm in editor file and it looks like mush when printed.

Any suggestions would be great.

Hey Bryon,

Two things you may want to look at:

1) There is a defaultprintdpi setting in the 'Advanced Preferences' dialog box. The default is 300, but you can modify that to see if it will help

2) When publishing, try using "print.pdfcf", however this will result in larger PDF's due to the higher resolution graphics

You may need to modify the pdfcf file. You'll notice there is a 'Image passthrough' element, which is blank. Add CGM in there and change the dpi as desired for it, and save it in your custom folder.'

Hopefully one of these helps.

Thanks Rafael, it ended up being that we did not choose a high enough resolution for the output pdf
