Ok, I got the rest of these done today (schematics and engineering
drawings). I experimented with many combos of resolution/bit-depth, and
the best quality with a managable size ended up being 300dpi/8-bit
greyscale/PDF format/JPEG compression. I think they average around 3megs
each for 11" x 17" pages. This was the only format that would pick up
things like component numbers on schematics/etc. Everything is available
at
www.retrobytes.org. BTW, if anyone has any suggestions on a better
format for these, I'd be happy to try something else! But until then, the
quality looks great to me...
Cheers,
Aaron
