These were done late last night. But that's the only PDF printer option I use when printing to PDF, regardless of program. Also I had thought I renamed all the images correctly after working last night but it looks like I left one untouched and uploaded it. The 'during-input' was the name I gave it to remind me that that particular image was what I saw while inputting into Frescobaldi. Sorry about that. I'll try that 2.19 option and see if I can play around with the thickness.
