SYMPTOMS
========
Certain graphics printed from Adobe Acrobat appear light when printed to a 600
dpi laser printer. When the same graphic is printed on a 300 dpi printer, the
printout is darker.
CAUSE
=====
The application is drawing 1 pixel wide lines so, at 600 dpi, diagonal lines
appear very light because laser printers cannot hold a single isolated dot on
the drum. This is also because of the application not specifying a logical pen
width.
RESOLUTION
==========
To print the graphic correctly, you can use one of the following workarounds:
- Change the resolution to 300 dpi.
- Print your graphic using a PostScript printer driver.
- Change the line width in the application.
STATUS
======
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT versions 3.51 and
4.0. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the
Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
