problems printing vectors

Postby graphos » Sat Mar 06, 2010 8:42 am

Hi
AmI doing something wrong?
I start a new document, set it to A4, add text, graphics etc.
Go to File, Print -- choose vector option and the A4 page prints out tiny in the corner of the page.
If I select the bitmat option the graphics and text are blurred.
help

I don't really know what's wrong, but I'll try. My 1st thought is that it might be something with the printer, some setting somewhere. Does it print text docs at the right size? Does it print eg - PNG or JPG docs ok? When you use the Bitmap option and it's blurry, is it the right size though?

Does your entire image fall inside the the border? Does it fit the A4 border pretty well, or does the image itself take up only a tiny part of the A4 size? It should be printing only the image, but if the image itself takes up only a tiny part of the A4 doc, that's how it should print.

Before I try to suggest steps to correct this, please lmk the answers to these questions; it will help narrow down the exact problem.
