What's the secret to creating a Flyer in either photoshop CS2 or Fireworks MX that will look the same when faxed?
I have just inherited the marketing responsibilities for my comapny which includes FAX BROADCASTING. I have been a webdeveloper for a while now, but I learned the hard way that what you see is not what you fax!!!
What's the tricks of the trade to designing a graphic/text flyer that will fax clear as it looks?
I couldn't find anything on the web....

No assumption was made. I only asked for some sort of response that his enterprise was legit. Its been eight days since I asked and he still hasn't responded. That to me says I was right to wait. I respect that you and billmercer are willing to give him the benefit of the doubt, but I suspect thats because you have never truly had to deal with a fax spam issue like I have. It can be a real pain.

I hate email spam. It spends my bandwitch, my time, my hard disk. The HD can be restored if I delete the spam or even avoided, if I have a filter anti-spam.
But fax spam is terrible! It uses my paper, my power and my toner. No way to restore the paper to a blank one or put back the toner into printer...
Well, after the initial speach, assuming mangerp is a professional in need of help, the secret of making good quality faxes from images is to produce the images in Black&White, in the same resolution as the fax will send it and with no half tones. If halftones are really necessary, make your images in B&W with 16 tones only and convert it to dithering halftoning, thus generating a image exactly as will send by fax. Chose the image resolution exactly the same for the fax.
Of course, send the faxes from the PC and never scan a printed image in the fax device.

P.S. I work for a Insurance company that sends a quarter of million faxes monthly, with account balance and certificates to our customers, signed by our president and with the logo company. That is not spam, the faxes are individual ones.

I'd say give the majority to billmercer (say %50?) and split the rest between ericpete and JoseParrot (%25 each?)

Normally I would try to respond to your question, but having suffered for a couple of years at the hands of FAX-SPAMMERS, you are going to have to convince me that your endeavors are legit, and not SPAM!
