    I made the Raster Image plotter configuration file (pc3) for an uncompressed and compressed TIF using what's already existing within add-a-plotter wizard, and I can only get 100 dpi out of those two. I'm looking for a TIF driver that will give me better resolution, without spending thousands for 100 seats. Anyone know of one?

  2. Create a custom paper size for your TIF printer....do the math for the
    desired size.

    For example, if I want 400 dpi 24"x36""

    24 x 400 = 9600
    36 x 400 = 14,400

    Paper size = 9600x14400

    if needed,
    use IrfanView to convert the TIFF afterwards
    -> Compression, Size, DPI etc.

    I would use that but, I only need TIFs that are 24" x 36" or 30" x 42" - I set the pixel number on the one that AutoCAD generates and it works great.
