Remarks

The settings provided by this class are used only if the target printer or driver has vector printing limitations. For example, OpacityThreshold is utilized on printers that do not support opacity settings such as PostScript printers. You typically use the property settings together to enable this scenario. You should set the ForceVector property to true to force vector printing and additionally set the OpacityThreshold to the opacity value setting at which Silverlight will round the opacity to 1.0 to support PostScript printing.
