There are two options:
Print All Foreground Layers.
Print only the currently Visible Foreground Layers.
Note that only foreground layers are printed. Background layers are never printed.
Print As
Normal
is suitable for most types of document.
However some printers do not reproduce consistent colors when printing bitmaps or vector objects that
are the same color (this is a fault with the printer driver). This is noticeable if objects overlap onto
bitmaps or onto objects with transparency applied to them. In this case, select Bitmap or Anti-Aliased
Bitmap
and retry.
The choice between Bitmap and Anti-Aliased Bitmap
depends on the printer and personal preference. Some printers give best results with anti-aliasing turned
off especially when printing thin lines. As a rule, using anti-aliasing allows lower resolution printing. For
example, 150 DPI bitmap printing is usually good enough for all uses-even typesetting. Without
anti-aliasing, higher resolutions may be needed which gives much slower printing.
Transparency resolution
When printing, MAGIX Xtreme Print Studio's transparency effects are created using bitmaps.
This option controls the resolution of those bitmaps when sent to the printer. Automatic is suitable for
most drawings, and means MAGIX Xtreme Print Studio automatically selects a resolution suitable for the
