Using the Smooth Ink Setting

Win
The Smooth Ink setting eliminates the jagged, "staircasing" effect that occurs when a
diagonal line is drawn on a SMART Board interactive whiteboard. It results in much
smoother curves and a display that more closely resembles the appearance of wet ink on
a regular whiteboard.
The Smooth Ink setting performs two functions:
•
it determines an appropriate shading color, somewhere between the color of the
electronic ink and the color of the background
•
it fills in the pixels at the edge of the electronic ink stream with this color, resulting in a
slight blurring around the edge of the electronic ink
The extra processing required for this setting can slow down system performance slightly.
This will be more noticeable if your computer has limited processing power. Similarly, if you
fill the pages in your Notebook file with a lot of writing or drawing, you may find it takes
longer for the software to display your pages when you move from one page to another.
NOTE: The Smooth Ink setting is not available to users with the Windows 95 operating
system.
To enable/disable the Smooth Ink setting:
NOTE: Your display properties must be set to high color (16 bit or greater) to use this
setting.
1 Press the SMART Board icon in the system tray and select Control Panel.
The SMART Board Control Panel will appear.
2 Press on the Pen Tray tab.
3 Select or clear the Smooth Ink check box.
