TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
For those of you who have actual printed manuals that you have
professionally printed, which image format do you use for your screen
captures. I was using GIF, but my boss thinks they will look crappy in
a printed manual, so he wants them all to be in png or vector art
format. The vector art format is not a problem since there is very
little vector art in my manuals, but I have hundreds of GIFS. I
understand that PNG is better, but does it make that much of a
difference in a professionally printed manual.
Thanks,
Wade
