Mac Works 4.0: Inverted Text on Greeting Card Causes Jaggies

PSS ID Number: Q149628 Article last modified on 10-22-1998

4.0

MACINTOSH

================================================================ ==

The information in this article applies to:

 == Microsoft Works for the Macintosh, versions 4.0, 4.0a, 4.0b == 

= SYMPTOMS =

When printing a Works Wizard greeting card using a non-Postscript printer, the inverted text prints with jaggies, similar to the way a bitmap font would look. Any Postscript printer prints the inverted text normally, without jaggy edges.

Printers Causing Jaggies (non-Postscript)
Stylewriter Deskwriter Imagewriter Epson Color Stylus Inkjet Printers

Postscript Printers
Apple Laserwriter Hewlett Packard Laserjet IIP

= WORKAROUND =

Print the card with the inside page blank, then print the inside page as a separate page printed right side up in the lower-left corner of a Word Processor document. Insert the Word Processor page into the card and trim to the appropriate size.

= MORE INFORMATION =

Graphics, as well as text, also print with jaggies. The problem is not a font issue, but rather a printer and print driver issue.
