Thick Borders May Not Be Printed in Low Printer Resolution

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem, use either of the following methods.

Method 1: Increase the Resolution of the Printout

To work around this problem, follow these steps:

1. On the File menu, click Page Setup.
2. In the Page Setup dialog box, click the Page tab.
3. Select a resolution of 300 dpi or higher in the Print Quality list and click OK.

When you print a workbook that contains borders, all of the borders are printed.

Method 2: Change the Printer Driver Settings

Changing how dark the printer prints can affect how the borders are printed. Disabling dithering and increasing the intensity of the printout may allow the borders to be printed. To do this, follow these steps:

1. On the File menu, click Page Setup.
2. In the Page Setup dialog box, click Options.
   
   The properties for your printer driver are displayed.
3. Click the Graphics tab.
4. Under Dithering, click None. Move the slider to set the Intensity to 0 (the darkest setting). Click OK twice.
