Charts are printing grainy artifacts from the viewer, but not on screen or PDF

Question

SSRS 2008 R2

Pie Chart with CustomAttribute PieDrawingStyle = Concave

Everything looks great on screen, PDF looks great, printing PDF is fine, printing from the viewer looks like the printer is running out of ink, or its trying to print it in 8-bit, it just looks bad.

The concave looks awesome and our clients love it, but they do a lot of printing and forcing them to always go to pdf first isn't an option.

Answer 1

The Microsoft developers have decided it is an issue, but its going to be too much work to fix as a cumulative update and it will have to wait until the next release of SQL Server, which is supposed to be next year around this time.
