Terry, Actually, this is just a math problem. We've been printing full color images on digital presses for years using efflare to process uploaded images (JPG) to the optimal size/resolution/quality for our presses. However, if you are dealing with logos w/ text, EPS is the way to go and processing those with CF is not really an option. So... the solution is to make big images @ 72dpi and then compress them down to the size you want when you create your print file. Does that make sense?
For example: A 100px wide @ 300dpi image would actually be a 416px wide 72dpi image. It's the same thing. The only trick is making sure whatever tech you're using to make print files doesn't "optimize" the image for the web when generating the PDF or whatever... Fun stuff... good times... good luck!

Is that related in any way? I am going to dig into Adobe acrobat and all of the CFPDF tags as Ben Forta suggested. From reading between the lines In the replies I could be wrong but this just might be something we all could benefit from as we all work mainly with Screen, browser output and there is a whole world out there for print media and 72 dpi doesn't cut it, and making Online applications for print media is a real big challenge.
