Yes they are 72 dpi. &nbsp;They were exported from CAD software. &nbsp;I will see if they can export them at a higher res. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
The confusing thing is that they look crystal clear in photoshop or fireworks. &nbsp;I did try increasing the res but still looks bad when imported to in design. &nbsp;looks bad and prints bad in indesign but not from photoshop or fireworks.

finally got it working. &nbsp;Re exported them from the cad software at its max dpi of 96 as jpg. &nbsp;Then in fireworks delete background, change dpi to 600, then modify image size as necessary and save as png. &nbsp;In indesign use file, place. &nbsp;looks good now when we print it.

I created a brochure in Indesign. &nbsp;I have several PNG images that I want to place into this document. &nbsp;No matter how I place them and no matter what format I try, it always prints blury. &nbsp;I am not trying to resize them or anything. &nbsp;I even opend the images in photoshop and saved them as psd but had the same problem. &nbsp;The only thing that seems to work is if I give the images a white background then place them, then it prints fine but I need them to be transparent. &nbsp;Any ideas?

Place Images \ graphics into Indesign

Page layout, also known as desktop publishing, is the part of graphic design that deals in the arrangement of visual elements on a page. It generally involves organizational principles of composition to achieve specific communication objectives. With print media, elements usually consist of type (text), images (pictures), and occasionally place-holder graphics for elements that are not printed with ink such as die/laser cutting, foil stamping or blind embossing. Commonly used programs include Adobe PageMaker and InDesign, Corel Ventura, QuarkXPress, Microsoft Publisher and Xara, along with more specialized programs such as TeX, LaTeX and LyX.
