Print card -- inconsistent results

[Timothy Miller]

We're talking about pretty elementary stacks here. Mostly buttons and  
fields. Text in the fields.

I'm keeping it simple by choosing "Print card..." from the File menu.

Some of my stacks print at device resolution. The printed output  
looks good. Text is very sharp. These are all stacks that were  
created in RR.

At least two of my stacks appear to print at screen resolution. Text  
looks like it came out of a crappy old dot matrix printer. Buttons  
look fuzzy, too, and so on. These are hyperCard retread stacks.

However, I have other hyperCard retread stacks that seem to print at  
device resolution.

Investigating further...

If I duplicate a field that normally prints fuzzy, and print again,  
both fields print fuzzy. This would be on a HC retread stack.

On the other hand, if I make a new field and type identical text into  
it, with identical font and textsize, the new one prints real nice,  
even though right next to fuzzy fields.

It appears that this phenomenon is related to the hyperCard retread  
issue.

I'm looking at the field properties, comparing the fuzzy-printing  
ones to the clear-printing ones. I don't see anything that would  
account for the difference.

The screen display of fuzzy-printing and clear-printing stacks seems  
similar.

What am I not getting?

Thanks,
