Print prescriptions on your pre-printed letterhead with margins that actually fit your paper, and the signature on every copy comes out sharp black instead of a grey ghost. We rewrote the print path because the previous “Print on Physical Letterhead” mode was still double-printing the digital header on top of your pre-printed one, which clinics had been working around with sticky tape.

​
What’s new

  • Physical-letterhead mode is now correct. Pick “Print on Physical Letterhead” and the PDF contains only the medical content — Rx number, patient, medications, diagnosis, signature — with proper top and bottom margins to land in the writable zone of your pre-printed paper.
  • Default safe-zone margins of 60mm top and 32mm bottom. Most clinic letterheads fit cleanly inside the default on the first try.
  • Allowed range widened to 5–120mm top and 5–100mm bottom. Clinics with very tall letterhead designs can dial in the exact values they need.
  • Crisp opaque-black signatures. The signature compositor re-tints every stroke pixel to pure black at full opacity before embedding. A faint pencil signature comes out as a sharp black one.
  • The “Dr.” prefix is consistent. Doctor and admin accounts always print as “Dr. ” — across the app, the prescription, the receipt and every other exported document.
  • A double-submit guard on Save. A fast double-click on Save no longer issues two prescription numbers for the same patient.
