Answers.Body: <p>If the printed version looks poor it is probably due to the quality of the image you used in the editor. You could simply upload one with better quality / resolution. </p>
  
  <p>In general you may have to fiddle a bit to get your html templates work well. I would advise to use an external editor and backup your templates once they work. </p>

Answers.Text: Thank you Fabian. I appreciate your help. I will use a higher resolution image. When you say use an external editor, what do you mean? Would that be something like Photoshop or perhaps even Dreamweaver to edit html.

Body: <p>I want to do a mail merge and post out a letter to members of a Civigroup. You can do this by generating a message template. When you insert a letterhead image into the template, the image resolution on the printed copy is poor. Is there a way to improve the resolution so that it looks professional. I presume this would be the same with invoices etc. </p>
