It makes no sense at all to send a black and white file as a JPG. It makes much more sense to use GIF of PNG, which are much efficient for this type of graphic. Second, you need to choose your resolution carefully, preferably for the destination printer's resolution (or a compatible resolution). When I make graphics from Finale for a web page, I always generate 600dpi TIFFs then bump the color depth up to the highest level, then resize (through resampling) them for the correct size on a web page. Then I change them to gray scale as the last test. If the graphics are going to be used for printing, you won't want to resize them, but if they are going to be used for screen display only, then it makes much more sense to resize them. -- David W.
