That ought to now look nice and sharp (minus the ClearType problem) but you'll be looking at a postage stamp. You can partly solve this by drawing the image one-to-one on the printer, ensuring that 1 pixel in the image becomes 1 pixel on paper. The red and blue fringes become very noticeable on paper.

This is especially noticeable with any text that's drawn with ClearType anti-aliasing. Short from the blockiness this produces, anything that's drawn on screen with anti-aliasing will get those anti-aliasing pixels drawn 6 times larger as well. So when you print an image that's razor sharp on a monitor, each pixel of the image requires printing a blob of 6 x 6. A printer typically can print with a resolution of 600 dots per inch. This is an inevitable consequence of the dramatic difference between the device resolution of a printer vs a monitor. I have tried using BitBlt routine also with the same results. I have tried saving the image as BMP, JPG, PNG with no joy either (when drawing image fromFile). I have tried different Pixel formats with no joy either. I have tried to draw the image from memory (e.Graphics.DrawImage(memoryImage, 0, 40) and also from the saved image 'e.Graphics.DrawImage(Image.FromFile('diary.png'), 5, 5) ' They are both blurry in print preview. e.Graphics.DrawImage(memoryImage, 0, 40) Private void printDocumentDiary_PrintPage(object sender, PrintPageEventArgs e)ДЇont HeaderFont = new Font('Consolas', 16, FontStyle.Bold) Д®.Graphics.DrawString(selectedYear.ToString() + ' - ' + name, HeaderFont, Brushes.Black, 15, 15) Д®.Graphics.DrawImage(Image.FromFile('diary.png'), 5, 5) MemoryImage = new Bitmap(SCwidth, SCheight, .Format32bppArgb) Rectangle bounds = new Rectangle(x, y, SCwidth, SCheight) Here's the code:- private void CaptureScreen() Id like the print preview to be as good as the saved image, any ideas?

The image in the print preview at any zoom level is blurry, the saved image is perfect (viewed in windows photo viewer & PS). I also save the image to my hard drive - 'memoryImage.Save('diary.png')' I have a print preview that displays a captured panel on a form 'Panel1.DrawToBitmap(memoryImage, bounds) '
