OK I redesigned it with CSS now a Flash Printing Question

I've got a prototype site going where the screen image is completely different than the images printed using CSS.

It works very nicely so far.

Here's my problem. I want my clients logo to print out nicely. I can get it to work using a jpg but the logo looks crappy. I'd prefer to use a flash image since it's a vector and will print nicely. It seems to work fine using iExp on my Mac (haven't actually printed it yet just print previews and .pdfs). Unfortuneately when I use Mozilla and Safari the logo disappears.

From what I've read at Macromedia it seems I can print using flash interactively but not from the browser itself.

So I'm out of luck?

What other options do I have? SVGs don't seem to show up at all.

Thanks in advance.

I suspect you're out of luck, however what you could try doing is swapping out the image for an .eps image in the CSS. I haven't tried this at ALL, however that would be my first avenue if I were attempting it.

This would require that the logo not be on the page itself (in the HTML) but rather in the CSS.

Thanks Suzanne.

Hmmm. I wouldn't have thought that I could use a .eps. But it's worth a try. I'll let you know if I figure it out.

If I remember correctly .png image format supports the vector thing, have you tried that?
