Thanks, Andy. I have to print to .JPG, and doing that directly from LTspice doesn't produce a good output, so I Print Screen and copy to Irfanview, crop and print from there. I think I will ask for an option to make the dots actually visible.

1. I have the background colour for both schematics and waveforms set to white, because that saves a lot of toner when printing out.

The on-screen background color does not affect the printed output, in my experience.? That is true whether or not I have "Print Monochrome" selected, at least when printing to PDF.? I suppose Your Mileage May Vary.

I wonder what I should see, with the grid enabled.

For schematic grids, you should see dots, not lines.? They are so tiny, I can barely see them.? Changing the on-screen colors does not seem to help me see them better.? Perhaps LTspice uses a size of 1 pixel, making them less apparent with high-res displays.? As far as I know, the schematic grid dots are on-screen only, not in the Printed output.? As you might notice (if you can see them), the on-screen dot spacing is not the functional grid spacing when you zoom out.? That is, it may show you one grid dot for every 2 or 4 or X functional grids - presumably so that the screen does not become filled with dots.

In contrast, the waveform grids are dotted lines, and they are much more visible.? I have to tone-down their color so that they don't overwhelm the waveform lines.
