Plotting FAQ

The following are common questions about working with plots.

Why do the seismic wiggles look like dashed lines when I use my printer to plot?

You need to change your printer's Print Quality settings in Windows to Best Quality.

When I send a plot (map or seismic) to a HP DesignJet 500 or 800 series plotter, why does it take a long time to spool the plot?

For all DesignJet series 500,800,5000 plotters, set the Print Quality setting to Max. Speed. For faster plot spooling, install the HP Design Jet 5500 driver to print to the HP 500 plotter.
