The PrintJob class allows the user to specify scale settings for printing. Scale settings define whether ImageGear renders the image to specific resolution (the Native mode), or to the original image size, allowing Silverlight to transform the image (WPF mode).
Use Native mode if at least one of the following conditions apply:
- The printer resolution is known in advance
- A specific print resolution is desired
- The original image has a significantly higher resolution than the printer
- Advanced ImageGear interpolation settings are used
Use WPF mode if at least one of the following conditions apply:
- The printer resolution is not known in advance
- The original image resolution is not higher than that of the printer
WPF scale settings are good as the default choice for printing.
