--- Comment #9 from Jussi Pakkanen <[email protected]> --- A practical example. Suppose you have a document that has a line art illustration with cross hatching and the like. You _really_ want to print that so that all edges remain sharp, otherwise it will look mushy and ugly. The only way to guarantee this is to put a 1-bit image in the PDF. If it is in grayscale or RGB you are at the mercy of the RIP. If it has code that detects RGB and grayscale images that "happen to be" monochrome you might get crisp looking output. But it's a lottery at that point. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
