Giorgio N Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 I understand that they have been magnified, but we're also talking an expensive printer here, from which I'd expect a much better quality. Printing a 1.5 mm tall font on a normal laser printer is generally no big deal, it would be interesting to understand if this is the best that this printer can do using white toner or if it's just a matter of finding the right combination for a better result. Small white lettering is often used in models for stencils, being able to print these is IMHO quite important Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenshirt Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 There are free vector graphics programs, just as powerful as the commercial ones. Inkscape is what I use and the graphic can be scaled almost infinitely. I've got artwork at 1x2 inches printed at 22x44 inches with zero pixelation. I've also done FAA serial numbers in 1/72 and they look perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Noble Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 I've done many home made decals on a Canon colour laser printer and the use of vector images makes a massive difference. Using a basic drawing program the letters can be rough edged and jagged. But using something like Adobe Illustrator to create the letters makes them perfect at any size..

docipaul Posted February 12, 2017 Author Share Posted February 12, 2017 I'll try using vector graphics program like Corel draw or the freebie Inkscape and will post if there will be any difference. Stay tune Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
