Borders on Cells Not Rendering Correctly

I am creating a report where I need to create a border around a series
of cells. It looks great when viewing it in Report Manager; however
(there is always a however) when I print the report some borders are
thin and of a lighter weight than they should be.
My cells have a 0 padding, so I thought was an issue. I changed the
padding to 2pt - no luck.
Any ideas? Any work-arounds? Is this an 'undocumented feature'?Yeah, I get the same thing sometimes when I export to PDF. Normally it's
because of overlapping report items that don't appear to be overlapping in
the designer. If I select the two items and use menu (Formatting, Vertical
Spacing, Remove Vertical Spacing), it fixes my issues. Hope this helps.

I see what you me in regards to two objects (a subreport and a table);
however Imy issues are with cells in the same table. I tried your trick
and the Horz. and Vert. Spacing options are not available.

border widths than others. That doesn't make any sense.

if anyone can shed some light on this problem, please do.
