RE: MI High Quality Graphics Output

Steve,
i have been grappling with the same issue and found that using an image 
setter print driver from MS Publisher98 was the best solution.
You print to file. This creates a high quality post script file which is 
usable by commercial printers. I have tried a number of post script 
printers and this is the only one that I have found to work.
cheers
Gabor

Subject:MI High Quality Graphics Output

Hi Mappers
I have been through the archives and haven't got a definative answer on
high quality output of data from mapinfo, I know this topic arises from
time to time but any ideas would be appreciated.

We are looking at producing high quality raster, vector and text
maps/plans to be printed professionally for our Council area and am
wondering what applications people are using to get great results (Adobe
Illustrator, corell?).

The major component of these images will be high quality raster
backdrops with polygon boundaries and text.

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated

cheers
Steve

The people we work with seem to be using one or more of Adobe Illustrator,
Macromedia FreeHand and Corel Draw. The advantage of using either
Illustrator or FreeHand is that with these two graphics programs you can use
our MAPublisher product which is a suite of cartographic and GIS plugins and
Xtras that provides cartographic functionality and a geo-referenced work
environment inside these two graphics programs. With MAPublisher you can
import mid/mif and other GIS formats while retaining all attributes and
geography. MAPublisher also has over 30 additional tools including
auto-labelling, auto-legend creation, projection and scale transformation
and automatic raster image registration. MAPublisher is also cross-platform,
allowing your Windows based MapInfo files to be worked on in FreeHand or
Illustrator on a Mac for design purposes.
For more information please visit http://www.avenza.com or ask the list as
there are many MAPublisher users out there who can help you make the right
decision.

Regards

PS. Curtin University in Perth just placed an order for 25 academic licenses
for their spatial sciences lab.
