typesetting. Without anti-aliasing, higher resolutions may be needed which gives much
slower printing.

Transparency resolution
When printing, Xara Web Designer Premium'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 Xara Web Designer Premium automatically
selects a resolution suitable for the current printer. This might be unsuitable if printing to
a very high resolution printer such as image setting devices. In this case you may wish to
control the print resolution manually by entering the desired value.

Note that modern printers often claim to be able to print at over 1000 dots-per-inch, but
this is not the same thing as "pixels-per-inch", which is what you see on screen.
Generally, it's never necessary to print at more than 600 pixels-per-inch, and typically
300 pixels per inch produces perfectly adequate print results, especially if anti-aliased.

Fill quality
Using this option, you can choose how many steps make up the graduated fills in your
document when it is printed. The NORMAL setting is suitable for most purposes. This
option is dimmed for PostScript printers.
Text options

If your printer has problems reproducing fonts, select the PRINT ALL TEXT AS SHAPES
option. All text is then converted to vector shapes before the document is sent to the
printer. This may be slower, but will reproduce exactly what you see on screen.
