You can have MapInfo Pro handle transparent fill and bitmap symbols for vector images instead of your printer handling the transparency.
You can have MapInfo Pro's Raster Overlay by Pixel (ROP) operation manage the transparent pixels when printing raster images. This method is used to draw transparent (non-translucent) images on-screen. ROP is useful when printing a raster image as a metafile (EMF or WMF), because it renders any underlying data in the original form. The ROP Method is largely a display method, so not all printers and plotters can use it. We recommend experimenting with this setting until you get the results you want.
To add a border when printing a Map window:
-
On the HOME tab, click Print.
-
In the the Print dialog box, click the Advanced button.
-
In the the Advanced Printing dialog box, select Internal Handling for Transparent Vector Fills and Symbols to have MapInfo Pro handle transparency. This check box is selected by default.
If you clear the check box, your printer or plotter manages the transparency.
-
Select Use ROP Method to Display Transparent Raster to use a raster operation (ROP) to handle transparent pixels.
If you are using transparency in a raster image, clear the Use ROP Method to Display Transparent Raster box to have MapInfo Pro handle the transparency internally. The image will be broken down into small rectangular regions that do not contain transparency. It is recommended that you check this option because printers do not always handle transparent raster images correctly. This method may produce large plot files.
-
Click OK to close the dialogs and proceed with printing.
The Advanced Printing dialog box overrides the default print settings for individual windows. To change the default print settings, on the PRO tab, click Options, and Output Settings.
