Hi there,

i run into trouble while printing with inkscape. I printed several things and afterwards noted that some printings are f*cked. Here a photograph of the printing next to inkscape:

I tried several things:

exporting to png and then printing
does not (or did not yet) work as it sets the printer margin different and so i lose a lot of the paper and the size of the printing (which is important) is just wrong. (maybe i need to try to print with something else then eog)

printing with rendering option "raster"
This ends up with a really pixelated image (even if i set it to 600 dpi)

redoing the part of the images that uses the dotted stroke
as the overall work are several pages and its just a fairly small part that is screwed i might just redo that part without useing dotted strokes and just hope the problem goes away.

While i think i will try the last option - anyone got another idea? I dont like to be forced to never use dotted strokes if i might ever think about priting it because my printer cant handle it.

It looks like it's not scaling the dots correctly. I would actually try saving as PDF. If it looks right in the PDF then it will look right when you print the PDF.

The dotted line looks ok in pdf but the pathes with gradients of the image where turned into crap

I'm redoing the thing right now
