For any document that I want to have a good image printed, I normally set everything for 600 dpi minimum, and even higher if the printer can print higher. My b&w laser goes to 1200 dpi and for "business" presentations that are b&w, I print at that dpi, as long as the printer's memory can handle the extra memory for the page and its graphics - i.e. the maxed out 48 MB limit for its internal memory [more memory costs more than the printer itself].

@Paddy, A printed copy of your PDF is not a very good test of document quality. Embedded BMP representation within LibreOffice is at 300dpi. Export print may be the vector format (wmf, emf, eps, svg) or a bitmap rendering preview--at 300dpi. You really need to open each PDF in suitable viewer and zoom in to 800% or 1200%. How do embedded images compare there? Are they bitmap? Or more concise full resolution vector images? Also, the platform you work on will impact handling of vector images. Several helper programs are needed--Ghostscript, ImageMagick, pstoedit and the mix will impact handling as bitmap or vector. Please provide your OS details, and perhaps attach a sample output (via the Nabble interface).
