jocko500...I just reposted that message. It is the same one, but I just proofread it so I could make a few more grammatical errors here... I don't print much, but I'm glad I read this posting because it's a subject that I recently read about in a magazine, and it's been on my mind. I guess unchecking the resampling box, and changing (if necessary) the resolution to 300 pixels will result in the best quality print. Even so, I just did a print w/o unchecking the resample box, changing the resolution to 300, and only slightly enlarged the document print size prior to printing. I assume over enlarging a digital image image under the conditions of engaged resampling would produce similar results as using a 12X digital zoom or wearing your grandma's prescription reading glasses. My slightly enlarged print looks pretty good except the color was not quite identical to what was on my monitor. Perhaps it has something to do with the PS6 print settings in the print dialog box, but I have no idea. These are the specific settings I have in mind: Document: untagged RGB, or Proof Setup: Photoshop 5 default CMYK(+ print space options). Typically I use the former because that's the default here. -Jeff :-)
