gradient fills

Anonymous — Mon, 23 Oct 2006 09:36:15 GMT

using gradient fills in ac10:
when printing small gradient fills the gradient disappears
large gardients print ok. but the narrow ones do not create enough "fountain steps" and they print flat
tried on 2 different printers and pdf output and the result was the same.
is there any solution???

How small?

If it is a general printing problem, it should show even in PDF.

Otherwise, update your printer's driver or check the settings of the same.

by small i mean like 1/2 cm wide.
and it prints flat also in pdf. so it's not a printer driver problem
it's a archicad otput to printer problem.

you can see the shadows (manualy built as gradient fills) are messy
