    Hi i compared the boardmaker CD V6 and the online boardmaker, and i found that the CD has a better print quality than the online boardmaker. The picture online is blurry and hurts the eye when focusing too much. I even when to buy a new printer thinking that was the problem. I have called boardmaker several time and no one knows how to help. I want to migrate to boardmaker online for Mac but with this issue i think i’m better off staying with my CD. do you have any suggestion? i’m using Boardmaker 30 free trial for MAC.
