Your printer should give the definitive answer here, because he knows his machines ;-) > I'm guessing that Adobe Reader > compresses the image in a way appropriate to the output device (in this > case the 72 ppi screen) in order to improve redraw time. Maybe, maybe not. How did you produce the pdf (pdflatex, dvipdfm or ps2pdf)? This could be a converter problem. What converter do you use for tiff->pdf (if you used pdflatex)? The reason I ask is that LyX will convert your tiff file to pdf and not eps if pdflatex is used. Georg
