fuzzy printing

ebloom

Using the Printing Demo that comes with Objo, the output isn't clear. Similar results on paper or PDF. Tested on Linux Mint and Windows 11. (Win11 is a VirtualBox VM on Linux.)
Tried to upload my PDF but it says "Uploading files of this type is not allowed."

Thanks for reporting this. I’ve enabled PDF uploads on the forum, so could you try attaching your PDF again? The current limit is about 7 MB.

I’ve traced a likely cause: Objo currently renders each page as an image before placing it in the PDF, and printing uses that same PDF. That could explain why both the saved PDF and paper output look fuzzy. I’d like to inspect your PDF to confirm before making a fix.

Thanks for uploading the PDF. I’ve inspected it and confirmed this is an Objo bug. Objo is compressing each printed page far too aggressively when it creates the PDF, damaging the text before it reaches the printer. That explains why the saved PDF and paper output look similarly fuzzy.

I’ve logged the bug and identified the setting that needs fixing. You don’t need to change your printer, PDF viewer, or VM settings. I’ll update this thread when the fix is available.
