Hi Tim,

We verified in both chrome 35 and 55 versions and found print is appearing blur.

Please find the attached printed file from chrome for your reference.

Looks good to me in the Chrome extension, PDF.js 1.6.293 in 55.0.2883.75.

I think that the difference in behavior is caused by #7697. So try the latest master version of PDF.js and the print quality will likely improve.

I observed the same issue on Chrome when GPU acceleration is not available (see chrome://gpu). With GPU acceleration available, printing quality is perfect.

With the master version of PDF.js printing quality is good with or without GPU acceleration.

Thank you. Closing as fixed.
