Hi grimmwerks,
You can probably get a decent printed image at 144 dpi. This means using
four times as much memory. Printomatic sends the entire print job to the
printer in one go, so the memory issue is important. (Most other
applications stream data to the printer, so printing starts faster and the
memory overhead is lower).
You'll need to scale up both the text member size and the font size, and
you'll need to scale up the defaultRect of any Flash members. When you
scale up the text, the softwrapping of the content is likely to alter.
Here's a simple handler that makes a number of assumptions (simple inks, no
skew or rotation, text member .boxType, no overlapping sprites, ...), so you
will have to adapt it to suit your project.
Cheers,
James
