DOCX File comes out large after printing

Post by guy.marom »

Hello,

I have a DOCX file that comes out 5 times its original size after printing.
Under the compression tab I set everything to Auto, the jpeg quality to 100% and the jbig method to standard.
When changing the color images compression method to ZIP the file size reduces dramatically from 2000KB to about 700KB.
Any ideas what I can do?
And also, where can I get some more information on these different compression methods?

Thank you very much,
Guy

JPEG with 100% quality can produce large streams.
You can find information about different compression algorithms using Google :wink:

It depends with Word and OS are you using.
On my Windows 7 with Office 2007 the best result I got when set Monochrome compression to JBIG2 (Crop Borders) and Indexed to ZIP.
All depends how Word prints images contained into your document.
