SYMPTOMS

When you print a document that contains AutoShapes, the curves on these AutoShapes may appear as line segments instead of smooth curves.

CAUSE

In shapes that contain irregular curves, the curves are made up of a number of line segments, which are joined together to produce the effect of a curve that cannot be created with a single calculation. When the image is printed, particularly at higher resolutions, the segmentation becomes more obvious, producing an uneven result.
