In LayOut's Preferences switch off the Experimental Graphics Engine.
Okay. Printed more clearly & DPI is also a little higher.

If that doesn't improve things, go back to using SketchUp/LayOut 2023.
I didn't know that was possible.

I'm printing a book.
At 1000 dpi?
You're correct. I read an article, "Some people send images with 1800 dpi, 2400 dpi and more and this only creates much larger files, but does not increase the output quality. You’ll see it better on screen if you zoom in on the image, but the printed result will be 300/400 dpi." I must break the habit of seeing a clear image on the screen.

If you share the .skp file I'll take a look at it and give you suggestions for improving your model. I expect that unless you're willing to update the hardware to something current, optimizing the model is going to be especially critical.
How do I share the .skp file[link text](link url)?
I'm in the middle of a big project and it makes problems with the fonts to start with different software and hardware (at least it was that way in the past).
