OldCKD Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Some time over the past year the default DPI setting in my print dialog box started showing up as 96, which of course is very low. This causes my print details to at times be fuzzy but it's especially bad when I have PDFs embedded in a layout - the specs, which is why they are on there, are completely unreadable (see attached pic). The drop-down box where you can supposedly adjust DPI only has the one option - 96. I can find no other place to adjust it. Tech support suggested I update my printer driver but having gone to the manufacturer website, I find I already have the latest one. I don't recall having this problem before and I certainly didn't have an issue with PDF files before. Anybody here have any idea how to rectify this? Point me to where I could adjust the DPI? Currently on Windows 7 ('cause I like it) and X8. TIA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MPDesign Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 I would try print to chief pdf instead of printing directly to your printer. Then open pdf and print from there. See if that works Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldCKD Posted March 13, 2017 Author Share Posted March 13, 2017 Hmmm...thanks, I will try that. I print reduced PDFs all the time, but never full scale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwideziner Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Have you tried reinstalling the printer driver? it looks as though that is the problem, or you have a hard setting on the printer that is limiting to 96 Dpi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRAWZILLA Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 That 96 dpi number is from your printer, set it higher in the printer settings, just s guess at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
