In my tests I did not detect any loss of resolution when using Export to Metafile.  Have you tried opening the .emf with an application that opens it as a vector image?

I checked my results by opening a test exported metafile (.emf) with LibreOffice Draw.  In that application I was able to scale up the image to fit an ISO A0 page size (48.81 x 33.11 inches, or 1189 x 841mm) without noticeable loss of quality.  I printed this A0 drawing from LibreOffice Draw to a PDF image with again A0 page size using Microsoft's 'Print to PDF' printer. 

The .gno, .emf and .pdf are attached. Also the jpg image used in the .gno (couple.jpg)


It would appear that images within the .emf are fully expanded bitmaps. this is evidenced by the very large file size.  Interestingly the .pdf size is much less than this, suggesting that the image resolution is actually much larger than need be for the resulting printed image.
