c# - How to print high definition images? -

printer resolutions 5-6 times greater screen's resolution. printer's resolution can around 6600 x 5100 opposed full hd screen's resolution: 1920 x 1080.

an 1920 x 1080 image looks great on screen avoid pixelation, 1 should ideally render higher resolution image printer, example, 6600 x 5100 image.

i trying print high definition image (6600 x 5100) high definition printer (600 dpi), find available print area 850 x 1100 specified e.pagebounds; see code below:

bitmap bitmaptoprint;     public void printimage()     {         bitmaptoprint = new bitmap(1700,2200);         font font = new font(fontfamily.genericsansserif, 60, fontstyle.regular);         string alphabet = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz";         graphics graphics = graphics.fromimage(bitmaptoprint);         graphics.drawstring(alphabet, font, system.drawing.brushes.black, 0, 0);         graphics.drawstring(alphabet, font, system.drawing.brushes.black, 0, 1000);          printdocument pd = new printdocument();         pd.printersettings.printername = "microsoft xps document writer";         pd.printersettings.printtofile = true;         pd.printpage += new printpageeventhandler(pd_printpage);         pd.print();     }     void pd_printpage(object sender, printpageeventargs e)     {         e.graphics.drawimage(bitmaptoprint, new pointf(0, 0));         //have @ e.pagebounds, dimensions 850x1100     } 

as rogern has pointed out, fix problem, drawimage call must replaced by:

e.graphics.drawimage(bitmaptoprint, new rectanglef(0.0f, 0.0f, 850.0f, 1100.0f));
