Howdy all,
Just as the question asks. I have created an SVG using Adobe Illustrator. Copied the path data into an LC SVG control. It looks great on screen but when printed, it looks low-res/fuzzy. Is this expected behavior? If not, what am I doing wrong?
Best regards,
Jon
Why would an SVG control print fuzzy?

Re: Why would an SVG control print fuzzy?
Hi Jon,
A workaround would be similar to rotated text discussed earlier

I whipped up a little stack that takes a snapshot of the SVG widget at a higher resolution and scale the image to the dimensions of the widget.
You could set the location of the image to the location of the widget and hide the widget when printing.
In my experience the image is a lot less fuzzy than the widget when looked at in a print preview.
Kind regards
Bernd
I would expect the print quality to be as good as what you see in the widget but alas it is not so.Copied the path data into an LC SVG control. It looks great on screen but when printed, it looks low-res/fuzzy. Is this expected behavior?
