Used output from the Export Tab for real today. Three strip maps of areas already mapped. Scaled to 1:15,000, saved as PDF and then printed at A4 (fit to page). Results are dead crisp and brilliant for subsequent micro-mapping of some details round Pickets Lock - the actual lock, not the stadium - then up the Lea Navigation towpath.
Now if only I can get waterproof paper to feed through my printer I would be able to read my annotations better - after being caught in drizzle for ages when out mapping!
Originally I thought the fact that the orangey selection box stayed there when you zoomed was annoying. Now realise it is so useful when patching a series of slight overlays together in this way.

Its not waterproof paper you're need, it's waterproof ink.
A while back I brought a cheapy all in one Epson ( it was cheaper than getting a new set of inks for the old printer!). It has pigment based inks rather than dye based. I tried it out when I found out, printed an A4 sheet off and stuck it under a running water tap, the paper fell apart before there was any evidence of ink run.
Ideal for those underwater survey outings :-)
