TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
Fuzzy images? Maybe you aren't using the right process:
For printed docs:
I always photocopy my monitor screen (it is awkward
getting that sucker to the copier) and then glue the
photocopies onto my printed documents. Sure it takes
a few weeks to do, and some of the pages stick
together, but the results are worth it. Kinko's be
#*&@ed!
For online files:
Nothing could be easier: I scan the photocopies (see
above), and then save them as a series of bmp images.
I import the bmps into Illustrator, export as eps,
distill, copy the files into Word as OLE object, then
use the "Save as pdf" feature.
I never have fuzzy graphics :)
