Print quality is not good

[47stinson]

I'm trying to produce some dimensioned prints the shop can use, using a Ricoh laser copier/printer on a network. My text comes out so poorly that 1/4" characters are blurry and hardly usable, using stick font. However, I can print from Autocad so finely I need a magnifying glass to read it. I wonder if this is a Mcam problem, or if my printer is at fault. Can everyone else print good text?

Yeah I make shop prints and blue prints all the time from Mastercam. Pretty involved solids made into solid layout. I would check my drivers ad I would also might check on a different printer.

if this is X make sure you have the patch 3 installed

I spent the morning trying to figure out what the problem may be. I discovered that if Shading is active, the print quality is dismally poor, but without shading the print quality is fine. However, shaded prints are what I really wanted, as they have a 3D look to them the shop can readily understand. Same in V9 and X, haven't tried patch 3 yet.

Im 16 and know simple fixes so i wanna give an opinion. Try setting the quality of ur print out to best if u have that feature.
