Chapter 6. Printing
Printing your cards is the core function of Bodno. Within this chapter we
describe the several printing configurations Bodno provides for printing and
how those settings work with your printer to achieve the best printing results.
To ensure that the finished card appears as intended you should understand
basic printing principles such as the resolution of your printer or the calibration
and resolution of your monitor. These specifications are provided by the printer
manufacturer and in the display settings of your Operating System.
Make sure you have the latest printer driver and firmware versions for the printer
you have installed.
