When it comes to printing objects, some fill patterns print faster than others. In general, the fill patterns on the top row of the pattern list in the Pattern drop-down list print the fastest. The difference in printing speed varies from printer to printer. The fill patterns on the top row are also the ones most likely to plot correctly on pen plotters, although results depend on which plotter driver you use. For more coaching on printing fill patterns, review the MapInfo Pro Printer Guide, which is located in the Documentation subfolder of your installation directory.
