Hello,
When I print small interleaved 2 of 5 barcodes on printers with less than 600dpi from my application I am getting quality problems.
The barcode has 14 digits and has to fit on a label 35mm wide. I am using Krysalis Barcode (now Barcode4J) to generate the barcode svg.
My attached sample svg has 2 barcodes side by side, they look identical when viewed in Squiggle but are not identical when printed at a resolution of 300dpi or less.
With printers that have 300 dpi or less I find that the bar widths can be smaller or larger by one printer dot, likewise the rendered position of the line can also vary by a dot in either direction. Although the barcodes scan, they can be of very variable quality when checked with a barcode verifier (ranging from grade B to F). I frequently find that the barcode on the left scans as B and the one on the right fails as an F.
The bars are perfect when printed on printers with 600+ dpi and scan as grade A.
Is there anything I can do to improve things ?

Patrick
