Imported images pixelate if printed from FH10/MX

[AdGood webforumsuser@macromedia.com]

HI,
I´ve got FreeHand 10 and MX instaslled on 3 different computers and every one gives me the same problem: imported images (tif, jpg) all show up nicely, but when printed they are pixelated although the resolution of the pictures is 200 to 300 ppi. If i print from FH9 everything is fine.
Can anyone help?
The printers I use are HP 980, HP 640 and HP Colorlaserjet 4600.

Thanks!
Britta

Britta,
Non-postscript printers rely on your screen redraw settings to send a
'screenshot' to the printer. Make sure your document resolutions settings
are as high as possible when you go to print. In FHMX they can be set in
Preferences > Redraw> On-screen image resolution.

If you have raster effects in a FHMX document, set File > Document Settings

> Raster Effects Settings to a resolution appropriate for the printer when

you go to print. (Lower it while editing, because here at least, it slows
redraw to a snail's pace.)
