[time-nuts] Three HP oldies

[Greg Broburg]

Just a note about jpg files, they are intentionally
fuzzed as the Japanese Photo Experts Group
concept is in the interest of visual art. So if you
make a jpg of a schematic much of it will not be
readable. Try Graphics Interchange Format gif
to preserve computer generated details like lines
and text. Or if it is all text, the postscript file system
is very good, it allows control of the entire page
formatting in preservation of accurate alignments.

I have made a similar repair using clear sheets
made for overhead projectors. My bet is that the
photographic paper wont buy you very much
improvement if any. A laser printer with 600 dpi
is a very good graphics machine. If you want to
try the mylar paper send me the file and a mail
address to return to. There is also an option to
use a material similar to photo paper for laser
printing, my guess is that that is what the print
shops are using to make photographic prints
so they are laser images not photo images made
from laser images.
