Printing Charts: NT8 inferior to NT7 ?

[jasinhbca]

Am i doing something wrong ?

In NT8 to print a chart i have to:

1. Click to Hide Chart Trader
2. Ctrl-P
3. Change printer preferences to landscape
4. Click Print
5. Click to Unhide Chart Trader

NT7
1. Ctrl-P
2. click Print

Also my NT7 charts fill the entire page and are sharper. NT8 charts print slightly blurred on same printer and don't fill entire page.

Is there a way to print a landscape chart in NT8 in fewer steps ? Is there a way to increase clarity of NT8 charts ?

Thank you

Hello jasinhbca,

Thank you for your post,

I suggest to right click on the chart > Image > Save As...

This will allow you to create a .jpg file of the chart itself to print, which will likely give you greater control of the size and clarity when printed.

We look forward to assisting further.

Thanks for the suggestion Eric. Could you please let the developers know it would be great if they could improve the size and ease of printing charts so it is as simple as in NT7

Thank you.

Thanks Alan. One other suggestion would be regarding entering and editing of text on charts. This is another area that was visually much easier to do in NT7. I've got to assume that anybody that compares the two programs would much prefer NT7 for adding/editing text.

Thank you.
