How can I get print quality out of WMS?

Postby BrockMaus » Thu May 27, 2010 9:39 am

I'm fairly new to Express server and am having difficulties in trying to get an image that looks good when it's printed.

Is there any way to force the DPI on a WMS? I couldn't find any parameters that I could provide that would allow me to request a DPI. I was hoping there was something within the capabilites that I could set but I couldn't find any documentation on that, nor could I get Express Server to even function when I tried to override the capabilities in the /var folder.

When I go through my access logs and pull out the WMS url - then whenever I try to hit that same url in the browser the DPI is always set at 96. How could I improve that to 300?

Presently there is no way to increase the DPI via the request, though it's possible that future versions of Express Server will support increasing the DPI of WMS images for print.

I have written a request for this feature in our tracking system.
