Subject: Re: [Homebrew_PCBs] poor output from Eagle

From: Peter Harrison <peter.harrison@...>
Date: 2010-01-09

The offset pad/hole thing happens on my Snow Leopard with a Samsung 1640 printer as well.

Printing to a PDF gets around it and also leaves you with a ready-to-print copy without firing up Eagle to mess with the layers again.
