On the Mac I am aware of how to do a screen capture, but it creates a 72 DPI image. We need a much higher quality image because it's for printing on a color laser printer. We need to be able to print this out high-quality so it looks good on a 11 x 17 inch paper. Thanks!

    It creates a 1:1 capture of your screen resolution.

  • Any way to improve the quality so it looks sharper when printed? Or is there another method than doing a screen capture? Kind of like Print to PDF, but Print to higher quality TIFF?

Taken from here.

defaults write com.apple.screencapture type pdf
killall SystemUIServer

Several other choices besides pdf and default png, see link.

  • Can this also capture the entire screen, like from a web page even if it requires scrolling to see the entire web page?

If you run sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.windowserver.plist DisplayResolutionEnabled -bool true and restart, the Displays preference pane will include settings for HiDPI modes:

You can save a screenshot of an entire website with webkit2png:

brew install webkit2png
webkit2png -F http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/93321

-F only saves a full-size screenshot. webkit2png uses a HiDPI mode when a HiDPI resolution is selected from System Preferences.
