On the DPaintII main screen, in the project menu (and I'm speaking from memory, not having used the program for quite a while), there are two options that affect your printouts. One is SET PAGE SIZE; the other, PRINT PICTURE. For the most accurate printing, first use SET PAGE SIZE, and at the top of the requester, where it says "Type in size", make the width 840 and the height 720 (assuming 120 dpi width and 72 dpi height for the printer). Note that these measurements are integral multiples of the dpi in each case. Be sure to press return after each number you type in, else it will be ignored. Then, in the PRINT PICTURE requester, use 100% for both % high and %wide. This is a very condensed version of Dick's advice for good print. I haven't tried it in quite a while, but recall that it did make a remarkable improvement. He also tells how to double the size, etc. – but the article was about 10 pages long…..
