I have a decent quality laser printer that I used to print out the maps from the free GM module. However, when I copied it from the .pdf and expanded it for print, it pixellated and lost a lot of the quality and resolution - of course.
Question is, has anyone ever compared the quality of printing from an adventure path .pdf (copied, expanded and printed out) versus the quality of scanning the non-.pdf maps - included in the printed AP book - using a higher res setting on the scanner in order to have better printed/blown-up versions for printing?

I haven't done a comparison myself, but I wouldn't be surprised if the scan revealed color dot components that go into the printed product. They make the graphics look very unattractive when zoomed in. I don't know if you'd have to resample the scan in a graphic app to a smaller size in order to get rid of those to get a good looking laser print.
