Has anyone else noticed that gradients printed directly from Inkscape are often not very gradual? It's almost as if they are too dark, too intense. But, if I save my document as a *.pdf (and rasterize the gradient when doing so) then the gradients print out closer to what I see on screen.

The downside to saving as *.pdf, though, appears that fine details lose some fidelity. They are not as crisp and clean as when printing directly from the SVG vector format.

Could this be a printer driver issue? An Inkscape application issue? A PDF conversion issue? All I can find on-line about gradients in Inkscape is how to create and manipulate them. Nothing on how to print them.

TIA,
