plotted drawing does not look good and bad quality

[mmkamel]

Hi all,
I'm printing a floor plan in autocad and the colors and text resolution is not that bright despite I'm adjusting the resolution to Maximum.

Any ideas will be highly appreciate.

I'm going to move this from the CAD Management forum to this one, as I believe it will be better served here. Thanks.

perhaps you can post a screenshot of your plot dialog box so we can look at your settings?

OK, thanks here is a snap shot of my plot window

I'm slow... I got nothin...

um... have you tried picking a plot style... monochrome or acad?

wait... are you trying to create an image file from this?

Trying to plot to a jpeg file?

Why not try the "Publish to Web JPG" plotter? Or use the wizard to create a JPG plotter (under "raster file formats").

if we are plotting to a jpg, then a search on *jpg* plot would yield different methods of accomplishing this with good results. especially this thread in the autocad Tips & Tricks forum: Want your .dwg to be a .jpg file?

are we barking up the right tree?

Thank you all for your reply, for me best way to produce a good quality JPG file is to go to plotter manager and add plotter wizard and then choose raster file and then choose jpg.

I don't want to plot to JPG I want my drawing to be bright in a printed A4 paper using a laser printer it is very dull black lines are very dull and so all other lines and shapes.

Does the plot style has any thing to do with the printing quality??

sorry, just looking at your plot dialog, it appears you're plotting to an image file rather than to a plotter.

yes, the plot style will affect this. have you tried playing with some of the default settings and seeing if they will come out differently?
