    Thank you very much for your great help! I will try that.
    The way to work with dampened paper only will work with any inkjet printer, or am I wrong?

    Hi Holger,

    Text by default has no line width/stroke. Just a filled shape. You can select your text, set the fill to none and stroke to black and set the stroke size to any value you require by typing the required value into the 'Set Line Width' box. No need to convert to editable shapes. I suspect you'll need to test print first to see what is the smallest stroke width your inkjet can produce.

    Holdger, print out your copy and place under the fresh sheet of paper and "trace" it.

    Or, convert to editable shapes and give the shapes a line width of 2pt and make the line colour white to get skinny letters.

    Or, clone the text and change the top one to white - I still get printable faint outlines.

    Or, use Egg's suggestion and change the line style to dashes to reduce the amount of ink form your printer.
