What are the optimum settings in Snapshot Preview for printing hard copy in RL?

(Now I'm using "custom" at 3600 x 2400, but everytime I take a shot I have to reset or the next shot will revert to whatever my screen size is).

Just tick the little check box "Keep open" (or something similar) and drag the snapshot window to the side. That way you simply can click on "New Snapshot", when you want to the next and all settings remain with the first.

BTW: I am doing snapshopts usually at 2048 * 1536 and could not find much improvement in printed results with higher resolutions. Activating "antialiasing" or setting it to *4 on your 3D card helps a lot, btw.

Thanks for the info Dana. I checked "keep open" and now it stays on the size I want. 20MB files should be enough for hard copy :-)
