You'll do much better with e.g. PDF, a format designed for printing and that used by the printing industry.

How would I know?  If you doubt this, try it with a standard font and
compare.

Note what I said about artefacts: something other than R is involved
when you print.  This is the sort of thing which happens if bitmap
images are not printed at their native resolution.

I saw that R can write in SVG format, using the RSVGTipsDevice library. I think 
SVG is the closest format to losslessness when printing.

Of course, my ecological motivation would ban all formats that make printing 
easy, to save the environment by saving a few trees :-)
