Set Excel Print Quality

In this guide, we will explain how to set the print quality of an Excel spreadsheet using Aspose.Cells for .NET. We’ll take you step-by-step through the provided C# source code to accomplish this task.

Step 1: Setting up the environment

Before you begin, make sure you have set up your development environment and installed Aspose.Cells for .NET. You can download the latest version of the library from Aspose official website.

Step 2: Import required namespaces

In your C# project, import the necessary namespaces to work with Aspose.Cells:

using Aspose.Cells;

Step 3: Setting the path to the documents directory

Declare a dataDir variable to specify the path to the directory where you want to save the generated Excel file:

string dataDir = "YOUR_DIRECTORY_OF_DOCUMENTS";

Be sure to replace "YOUR_DOCUMENT_DIRECTORY" with the correct path on your system.

Step 4: Creating a Workbook Object

Instantiate a Workbook object that represents the Excel workbook you want to create:

Workbook workbook = new Workbook();

Step 5: Access to the first worksheet

Navigate to the first worksheet in the Excel workbook using the following code:

Worksheet worksheet = workbook.Worksheets[0];

Step 6: Setting the Print Quality

To set the print quality of the worksheet, use the following code:

worksheet.PageSetup.PrintQuality = 180;

Here we have set the print quality to 180 dpi, but you can adjust this value according to your needs.

Step 7: Saving the Excel workbook

To save the Excel workbook with the defined print quality, use the Save method of the Workbook object:

workbook.Save(dataDir + "SetPrintQuality_out.xls");

This will save the Excel workbook with file name “SetPrintQuality_out.xls” in the specified directory.
