Resolution

The below mentioned points needs to be verified and can be one of the cause for the above described issue:
  1. Open the analysis file in the Spotfire Analyst. 
  2. Check, if any Custom Fonts are used in that particular Visualizations. It might be that some of the visualizations in the dashboard may be using a Custom Font.
  3. Ideally some of the custom fonts are very thin, faded and dull in nature.
  4. This may cause the image quality issues in these visualization image(s) when attached in the Email Body of the 'Send Email' Task.
  5. Also, if the Font itself is very thin and faded then making changes to the height and width pixels may also led to dull and unreadable image(s).
