Re: Some (not all) PDF pix file letterforms antialiasing

[Dov Isaacs <isaacs@xxxxxxxxx>]

Bart,

Perhaps your PCs are printing via PCL emulation as opposed to PostScript
emulation to your "stupid sh***y clone Mita printer" and your PC users
don't realize it?!? There is no "antialiasing" setting for images in
PostScript. There are various image interpolation techniques, but for
PostScript, it would make no difference whether coming from Mac or PC.
PCL on the other hand ...

The letterforms print crystal clear from either Photoshop, and more to the point, Frame and Acrobat, from the Mac to our stupid sh***y clone Mita printer. But they anti-alias when printed from most of the PCs in the office. Two notable aspects:
