Printing Problems

The graphics have been heavily screened
Go into your printer's Features menu and set the graphic resolution to "600 dpi" and color control "Fine".

Graphics are too large and are cut off along the right-hand margin

  • General: Set your browser so that the side margin is as small as possible ("Page Setup" or similar option).
  • Microsoft Internet Explorer: This browser always prints graphics too large and we can see no way of changing this. If you want to print out pages, you should use our pdf and PostScript files. You can access the downloading page from the Home page using the "Print files" icon.
  • Netscape under Windows: The size of the printed graphics depends on the point size set in Windows (not in Netscape). The best results are achieved with a standard resolution of 1024 x 768 dots and standard Windows setting ("Large fonts"). However, you are naturally also able to download finished print files (using the "Print files" icon from the Home page).

Texts are cut off along the right-hand margin
This always occurs if the page being printed contains a graphic which is too large for your browser settings and is therefore cut off at the right-hand margin, see above.

The graphics printed out by the Adobe Acrobat pdf viewer are of poor quality
In this case, you are probably not using a PostScript printer driver for printing out. Click the "Setup" button in the "Print" window and select a PostScript printer driver.
