Custom icons in Views - Printing Problem

HCL Domino Domino Forum

I am using custom icons for a view column. I followed the instructions in help:

“To display a custom icon, create the icon as an image resource, then enter the name of the image resource as the default value for the column. For example: ‘logo.bmp’

An image resource can be a GIF, BMP, or JPEG graphic. The recommended size for a column icon is .2 inches wide and .18 inches high.”

This all works fine when viewed on the screen (just using Notes Client, don’t need on the web). However, when I print the view, the icons shrink to a 16th of their original size.

I’ve tried using GIF and JPEG file types with the same result.

Check the resolution of the graphics when you create them – they should be 72 pixels per inch. The Notes client will dsiplay them at pixel size, but your printer will try to print them at resolution size, so if they’re set for, say, 300 pixels per inch, they’ll print at about 1/4 the height and width you’d expect.

I checked. They are 72 pixels per inch. Any other ideas?
