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
You would want to go to the Epson web site and see if they have a newer driver.
George
thank you i'll give it a try
Well none of these things worked. any other ideas?
Interesting... How exactly do you print to your Epson? Is it directly to Epson driver or via some sublimation virtual driver (e.g. Sawgrass)? Could you please share your CDR document?
The printer uses the same driver but a special color profile for the sublimation inks. this issue I'm having doesn't seem to be consistent, some of the graphics I've been working on are fine and others aren't. Can you send me your email or someway other way to send the files, they are too large for attaching here.
Thank you,
If possible, convert the line art part to a fairly high res 1-Bit bitmap with no fill and place it over the top of vector fill and then it should print fine.
I am really interested in finding out the resolution for this original query ... was it a fault in Corel x5 etc ?
I have had similar problems in the past (our design was no where near as complex though!) and we also do not print directly to our Epson 11880 printer. We couldn't get a result so we changed the design! - wish I had been a member on here at that time !
I find this forum excellent, with loads of friendly members who are willing to share their knowledge :)
