Digital BW, The Print

Steve,
Not sure of the original question, but I just finished resolving some
bizarro Quark problems when printing high-res tiffs (Mac OS 9.2 in my case,
but many of these issues are cross-platform).

First off, definitely upgrade to 4.11 (free on Quark's site).

The other info I found was that rotating a photo file in Quark will cause
low-res printing. Do any rotating in Photoshop, then import the rotated file
into Quark. 

Finally, if the picture box color is set to "none" (which you would think
would be logical), this can also cause freaky or low-res pic printouts. It
must be set to "white". Go figure.

Their FAQ is helpful, although answers can be spread over several sections,
so be sure to read the entire index:

HTH,
Doug
