Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
Sophia, it sounds like the logo was probably created with a resolution meant for screen viewing, which is (I think 72 dpi) and that isn't always great for printing.
I don't understand why you and your boss print it out differently though. Could it be your boss just has a crappy printer or low-res settings on her printer?

Thank you so much
That is what I thought too, but then it happened even with the files the designer gave us that are for offset printing!
I ended up googling, and coming up with a blog where someone mentioned that outlook 2003 assumes all images are 96 dpi, and actually enlarges them to that size, thus pixelateing them. I linked above
Thanks Ginger.
I don't mess around with shell stuff too much in OS X, but I found something interesting that lets you grab web stuff using the command line. You'd call it like:
/usr/local/bin/links -dump "http://somewebpage.com"
What is this 'links' thing? I don't have that file (at least at that location).
What do we know about Go-Daddy? I'm thinking of using them to renew my domain name, mostly because I detest Network Solutions and they're LOTS cheaper.
I use them - for domains they are fine. Don't let them talk you into using their hosting service. In general when you buy from them they try a fairly hard sell to get you to buy other services; ignore this and they are great for domains as far as I'm concerned.
I'm not the only one. I think several people on this board uses go-daddy. But you might also check your hosting service. A lot of hosting services offer domains at competitive prices.
I agree with Typo. I also use them for domains and domains only and have been happy with them in that aspect. But I would not use them for hosting.
go-daddy are fine. I use dotster who are also good.
I used to use network solutions and I remember them making it very very VERY difficult for me to leave them. This was 5 years ago; hopefully things are different now.
/usr/local/bin/links -dump "http://somewebpage.com"
Anything in /usr/local is something that has been installed locally on that system. It's not something that comes with Mac OS X.

Why not use GoDaddy for hosting? I ask because I am, and have had no problem with them, but I'm wondering now if I should be braced for something.
