I have Corel X5. I am designing graphics for sublimation printing. some of the graphics as seen in the program are not printing the same is what I see on screen. For instance I did a power clip process and it looks great on screen but the print preview does not reflect the graphic as seen in the program. The power clip is no longer clipped to the design. In another instance I used a fountain fill on design, the design looks great on screen and in the print preview but when printed doesn't look at all like what I designed on screen. I can send print screens of the two examples I am referring to if someone cares to help out with this.
Most of my graphics are printing fine, its just when I have applied some special techniques that I am having problems. Is due to layers possibly?....
Thanks in advance
Could you please post the print screens with the problem examples? If you can share your original CDR document ( may be simplified a bit to show problematic area) this would help too. What printer and printer driver are you using - particularly do you use PostScript or non-Postscript driver? Thank you.
I use an epson 7510 printer I don't know about the diver, where do i look for that? Thank you,
Deborah
Most likely printer driver having problems handling complex clipping paths. There are several possible solutions:
1) As TheSIgnGuy suggested - download and install latest driver for Epson 7510 printer from Epson website.
2) If it doesn't resolve your problem, in X5 go to Tools/Options/Printing/DriverCompatibility, select Epson 7510 printer from the list and check "Use software clipping for fills". Hit OK.
3) If [2] still doesn't resolve the problem - in X5 Print dialog, General tab, check Print as bitmap box, hit Apply, then print. This will rasterize complex fills in the application and then send pre-rasterized graphics to the driver.
Hope this will help.
