When you are printing, find out what type of printer driver you are using. Many PCL6 and some HPGL drivers handle fill pattern scaling and give you control over this feature. Turning off their scaling may be the difference between what you see in print and what you see on your monitor.
Before exploring your printer driver's scaling options, we recommend you try our scaling options, because we have enhanced our method to better meet your map and layout requirements. Then try turning off our scaling and turn your printer driver's back on and see what you like better. Our tests show that our scaling seems to produce output that more closely matches your screen's display.
To turn on MapInfo Pro's pattern scaling options:
- On the PRO tab, select Options, and then click Output Settings.
- In the Output Preferences dialog box, on the Printing tab, select the Scale Patterns check box.
