Hi guys.

The original prints were taken from printing out pdf files of DJ Delorie's spirals and then looking at the traces with a digital microscope. The format I put the pictures up was more a point for convenience to others viewing. I did assume that bmp was best because it would not lose any data and thus show everything up. jpeg does tend to degrade such types of picture I think. When I tried the png that seemed to work nicely so i stuck with png

The pdf documents on screen looked fantastic when I zoomed in so I am off the opinion they were very good to print. I did try to import the gerber files but my software did not like them. It slowed the PC down to a halt.

One of my main concerns was trying to ensure the print settings where definately correct or rather optimal for such a print.

It does look like I will have to just transfer and etch some to fine out.
