Reply To: Is it acceptable to rasterize body copy?

Rasterise text at 300dpi will not give you the best result.
For offset printing a platesetter runs at about 2400dpi (depends on maker).
Most digital press run at 600dpi or higher these days.
So you can run a lower dpi but when compared to a file with vector text you will see the difference.

You could just follow Adobe’s suggestion of rasterising bitmap art/text at 1200dpi that would work. But the file gets really big. Maybe someone should design a vector output method I don’t know like Postscript or PDF.

If someone say they print business cards from 300dpi files find a new printer.
