That can be useful if there aren't any other options, but it tends to |
22 |
be a hassle. You have to crank up the DPI setting pretty high on the |
23 |
rasterization operation, and then you end up with image files that |
24 |
some printers seem to choke on. Our (admittedly ancient) LasertJet |
25 |
8150 seems to be particulary bad handling large, hi-DPI image files. |
