[texhax] printing fonts... off topic...

[Alan Litchfield]

Actually they can be very lossy, if you use lzw compression, which I  
never use. But they can have pretty much any resolution you may  
require, depending on whether you have straight out black and white or  
colour in your file.

I usually find 300dpi for greyscale and colour images is good enough  
for printing. 1200dpi for lineart.

I've not had any problems with printing multipage tiffs myself, which  
you should be able to print from Preview itself.

Cheers
Alan
