Hairlines Almost Invisible When Printed to HPCL Printer
Hairlines Almost Invisible When Printed to HPCL Printer
Q138685
--------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Publisher for Windows 95, version 3.0
--------------------------------------------------------------------
SYMPTOMS
========
Hairlines are almost invisible when they are printed to a 1200 dots per
inch (dpi) or higher-resolution printer that uses the Hewlett-Packard
Printer Control Language (HPPCL). Many of the Lexmart Optra printers have
this capability, and, therefore, these printers may exhibit this behavior.
If you print to a 1200 dpi or higher-resolution PostScript printer, the
hairlines are fine (very thin), but they are visible. This behavior is
correct: hairlines are supposed to be very fine lines.
WORKAROUND
==========
Practically every printer that supports 1200 or higher dpi output has
a PostScript emulation. To display hairlines, print your publication using
the PostScript emulation of that printer.
