Imported PDFs still printing rasterized

Here are printouts made from Publisher onto a Dell 3130cn laser printer (internal resolution 1200dpi). There is no practical difference in print quality whether the job is printed from an opened SVG (sent to the printer as vector data and rasterized by the printer at its maximum internal dpi, disregarding the default 300dpi setting of Publisher), or from an imported SVG (sent to the printer as a rasterized sheet resolution set at 1200dpi). As can be seen the latter has more details but when viewed from typical read distance, both look practically identical.

Given that the second (1200dpi) version is sharper, I'm curious how you concluded that the 300dpi setting in the first version was "disregarded"? And how you've concluded that the first version was sent as vector data rather than raster?

Have you tried the first version with the Publisher document set to 1200dpi for a more comparable test?

(I like the testing you're doing, I just don't completely understand it yet )

Thanks for taking the time to test all this. I'll need to do some more testing myself and carefully think through all that you've done here.

Hi all,

Sorry for the delayed reply. 

We are aware of an issue where embedded documents do not pass through when you print them, but instead, they get rasterized, even if they are pure vector documents. 

Thanks,

Gabe.

Thanks for confirming this. Good to know I'm not crazy.
