I am taking a graphic into photoshop from another software, the graphic is then reduced to 3 inch x 2 inch, coverted to bitmap and then saved as a TIF. It looks fine on the screen (no grid), but when I print it there is a grid on the graphic.

info:

software: photoshop 6 and 7 (tried both)
OS: windows xp
computer running: 2800 athlon
RAM: 512 M
Graphic produced in: Pro-Engineer

I have tried various different methods, i.e. I can take the same graphic into word and it is fine (no grid when printed), but if I save it as a pdf (through acrobat) and then take it into photoshop the grid appears when printed. Also tried taking it into illustrator, saving as EPS and then taking it into photoshop, but still there is a grid.

Andrew,

it seems to be a vector graphic which HAS a grid with thin lines. If it is a vector graphic (EPS) then place with high resolution preview and show by Actual Pixels. The grid should appear.

For a vector graphic it´s hardly possible to get rid of the grid unless the code is modified (e.g. grid removed by Illustrator or by editing the source code in an EPS).

For a raster graphic the grid itself is in pixels. Cannot be removed, but will not be shown and printed reliably if the image is downsampled for a very small size in pixels.

Which type and file format is the original graphic ?
Pro-E can create raster graphics (3D photo-realistic) and vector graphics.
