    Upload the images to Photosape, where you can set the size of the images and then save and print them.

    It has nothing to do with fonts or drivers. A screen image is always the pixel-level image you see on screen and zooming in on the screenshot will always reveal the pixels.
    You can either try adding a much larger virtual screen if your OS supports it and make a screenshot from that one, print the document from the application you're using (if supported) or try an AI image upscaler which sometimes works well.

    Microsoft ClearType

    Press the Windows key on your keyboard and type ClearType. Select Adjust ClearType text from the search results. In the ClearType Text Tuner window, click the Turn on ClearType checkbox to enable ClearType, then click Next

    I know a fair share of YouTube creators who started using AI upscaling to counter this issue. It's not perfect, but depending on the content of the screenshot it helps keeping it legible during zoom.

    Also, if you're taking a screenshot of a web page, maybe you could try zooming in from the browser by holding ctrl and + or -. Try ctrl 0 to reset the size. You can also do that in Windows, but I think it has to be enabled. That's why there's a magnifying glass program with every Windows copy.

    Did you change to feeding the posts to ChatGPT instead of googling like always? Highly impressive how the amount of effort of doing that is still higher than just reading and replying like a normal person would, considering how simple the explanation actually is.

    Will not fix anything. It's not a font rendering issue, it's a lack of pixels issue.

    If it's only the text you need, run the image through an OCR engine. Otherwise, AI upscale as mentioned.

    E: And if it's a webpage you're talking about, print the webpage to PDF from your browser. Install a PDF printer first if necessary.

    @shinjiya you old pain in the ass, I have just entered a question for the first time on ChatGPT and here is the result:

    Hi! It sounds like you're running into an image quality issue when printing screenshots, especially text. Here are a few tips that might help you:

    1. Use a higher resolution image: If possible, try to capture the source of the text in a higher resolution. Sometimes enlarging an image that is already in low resolution can cause distortion.

    2. Screenshot tools: Use dedicated screenshot tools or software that offer better quality than the standard print feature. Programs like Snagit or Greenshot can help you create clearer images.

    3. Zoom feature: When taking the screenshot, make sure you view the text at its original size or at an optimal zoom level on your screen before taking the screenshot.

    4. Text as vector: If you have the option to save the text as a vector graphic (e.g. in a PDF format), the quality will not be affected when you zoom in.

    5. Image editing: After taking the screenshot, you can also use image editing software to improve the sharpness of the text.

    I hope these tips help you out! If you have any other questions, let me know. Hi! It sounds like you're encountering an image quality issue when printing screenshots, especially text. Here are a few tips that might help you:

    I hope these tips help you! If you have any other questions, let me know.

    "Shinjiya" could refer to different things depending on the context. It could be the name of a company, a brand, or even a character from an anime or manga. In Japanese culture, there are also restaurants or shops that could have this name. If you have more information or a specific context in which "Shinjiya" is used, let me know and I'll be happy to help!

    Pretty awesome, it seems that we can have AI replace your job of getting into threads to post half-assed answers. We could pitch RadioGPT to the mods.
