Hi Tiemo,

For maximum print quality, keep the full-size image
around as a separate off-screen image control
specifically for ptinting purposes.
Upon printing, hide the 'resized' control, print the
card, and then print from the rect of the off-screen
image into the rect of the (hidden) on-screen image ;
after printing, you show the on-screen image again.

Hope this helped,

Jan Schenkel.
