For those who have had similar problems with pattern hatching on HP DesignJet 2500CP printer, here is a round-up of the responses I received. Thanks to all contributers, hope I've attributed correctly. Summary of Problem: The pattern fill is too dense, the different patterns end up virtually indistinguishable, because there is insufficient spacing between the pattern elements. - - - Lars Bagge Nielsen ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) I don't know if this will help, but we at The National Museum of Denmark have had many problems with the hp2500cp and ended up with using windows nt 4.0, by which we cant use the cutter properly or using the hp2000 htgl driver in windows95 and 98 (not postscript 3). Try one of this and it might help. Go to the mapinfo.com techcenter and read a lot on the subject. - - - Sam Kome ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Have you tried using the fills from the very top row of choices? They're specifically made for large plots and scale differently. - - - Derek E. Bedarf ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) I've found that unchecking the "background" box results in more widely spaced pattern fills. It makes no sense to me, but it works. - - - Francois Molle ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) has written a freeware application specfill.mbx, which is available from the MapInfo-L download site. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from this list, send e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and put "unsubscribe MAPINFO-L" in the message body, or contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
