Word 2004 Mac: page background image prints washed out or pixelated

No, setting it Behind Text alone doesn't make it a watermark; if you haven't
changed the color setting, then it shouldn't *print* washed out, though it
will be displayed that way because the background image is part of the
header.
The culprit appears to be a colour-management issue.
After the laser printer failed so miserably - I'm not being picky, but
the print looked twice as bright - I tried a desktop inkjet and our 24"
roll printer.
The desktop inkjet was way off just like the laser, but the 24" printer
was almost spot on; shame that those aren't more common in office
environments.
The image format (PNG, TIFF, JPG etc.) didn't seem to matter by the way.
And another interesting little detail: if I create a PDF from Word
first, it prints well on *all* printers.
Go figure...
