Default Template conversion from 2013 to 2016 is Bad

I use a 600 DPI signature in MS Word 2013, and when I print it, it looks beautiful.

All I did was upgrade to 2016 and re-save a template from 2013 to 2016, with the
JPG in the contents.

The JPG looks terrible - just wretched. This is all because of re-saving a 2013 template in 2016, and this is for sure - I can repeat it ad infinitum.

Its not the printer at all.

Does anyone know what's going on? If I re-import the JPG, the image gets corrupted,


and is unprintable.

Default Importing a Picture of a Signature

In MS Office 2016 (Win 10) I have an image that's a 600 DPI scan of my boss's signature, saved as a JPG. The JPG is 3400px wide, so I'm guessing some compression occurs when it's being inserted - I don't know for sure. At any rate, it prints nice and clean in Word v14, but its ugly in version 16.

Is there a better way of doing this? I've tried a PNG, with no improvement.

Higher resolution? Using an image inside a container of some sort? Switching off the
picture editing in Word (if that's possible?)

Just wondering!

Coreysan: Please don't start multiple threads on essentially the same topic. Threads merged.

Have you checked Word's image compression settings?

Fair enough! I'll look at compression. I'm puzzled though, because when the image is loaded and compressed I can see onscreen that it looks fabulous. However, once I
type <ctrl-s> I can actually see the image distort.

I would have thought compression had already taken place by then, but I'll try changing settings. Thanks for the tip!

Compression would take place when the document is saved, not before.
