Question: How do I get the best possible print quality?

< Back to Questions List

Answer:

To create sharp, clear TOPO! prints:

· Make sure that you are using the most current version of the TOPO! software.

· Choose settings that provide the best graphic image prints for your printer. Use "raster", not "vector", settings if you are given the choice, and set the resolution to "good" or "best" rather than "draft."

· Always print from map level 5 when possible. This is the most detailed scale available.

· After selecting a print area, make sure that "Suggested" is checked on the right side of your screen. Doing this prints the maps at a 50% scale, which squeezes the pixels together and provides a sharper printout.
