    Default Simple Printing Question

    I have a logo design that I want to print on some transfer paper to be ironed onto my Grandson's soccer jersey. The design is a mix of a vector shape with a .jpeg graphic in the center and a text title.

    In the print options:
    1) I selected 'Visible forground layers'
    2) Normal Bitmap or Anti-aliased bitmap?
    3) Bitmap resolution 'Automatic'

    Not sure about any of the 3 choices above, but number (2) has me really stumped.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks,
    Bob

    Anti-aliasing is a method of automatically giving a hard edge image a very slight blur. The reason is to hide the jagged edges, caused by the sharp pixels. Depending on the image, you probably won't see any difference on paper. The visible foreground selection allows you to choose whether to print all the foreground layers or just the visible ones. Automatic resolution just adjusts the resolution to match your printer.

    DON'T FORGET TO MIRROR YOUR IMAGE PRIOR TO PRINTING TRANSFERS!!

    Mike,

    Thanks for answering my questions and the quick reply (especially the 'mirroring' advice!).
