[Qgis-user] zoom level / magnifier on opentopomaps print composer

[Nicolas Cadieux]

Hi,

Are you using a wms or online data?  Online services have a mind of 
their own, especially if you are trying to print to a large paper size 
like A0. Try changing the paper size to US letter or A4.  In the print 
composer, make sure you are using the 1:1 zoom (zoom to 100%) and then 
the refresh view icon.  In the export settings of the layout, select 
300dpi.  If that is not it, I would need to have access to the data to 
trouble shoot.
