I had a difference of opinion with a co-worker regarding printing screenshots. My position is to Never re-sample them. If it ends up being 72 dpi, or 120, or 300 etc. at final size, I say just scale to final print size, convert it to CMYK, but don't resample it. The co-worker says she doubles the size (doubling the pixels), sharpens it, then sizes to fnal size while resampling to 300 dpi. My opinion is that you will only reduced quality by resampling. Especially since screenshots have so many 1 pixel lines, text etc.

What are your thoughts?

hey rastermon! i've never thought much on this (before now ;)) as i usually use them for "on-screen" and not output to paper. i'll have to experiment with what you've posted and see which gives the better results.

man... learn something everyday...
thanks for the food-for-thought

I use a program called ByLight 20/20. Great for screen shots and partial screen shots. I've never really printed much other than low quality tech manuals at work. If I enhanced with pixel resampling it was to try and see the text better, however, I recall that that never really worked and I was better off changing screen resolutions to get the text right.
