Try exporting as a png with zero compression instead of a jpg. For example, if I use the Draw CD template and export the whole thing as a jpg @ 100% quality, it comes out as a 72 × 72 ppi with a file size of 36.9KB. However if I export as a png w/zero compression, it comes out 96.0374 × 96.0374 ppi pixels with a file size of 2.6MB. Printing to file using postscript gives 100 x 100 ppi. This still may not give your resolution that you are looking for, but perhaps it's better than jpg & you can experiment adjusting using Gimp etc. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
