Most of the time my designs print pretty good on my Epson p800. Every now and then a new design will print with parts of it having jagged edges. When zoomed in on the screen, it looks great at any magnification. I'm not too computer savy, but I have been working with Coreldraw for 6 or 7 years, most recently on x8. I have read other similar complaints, but I'm kind of stumped.
What happens if you choose "Print as bitmap:" in the Print dialog?Same thing?Would it be possible to share a file?If you post it here, change the file extension to .zip (this forum doesn't accept .cdr )
I think I have narrowed it down to inside drop shadows. I don't understand why some drop shadows print fine for some things and not for others. They are all inside shadow. I will continue to experiment and see what happens.
Please let us know the results.As I said in my first post, some effects (transparencies/shadows for example) can not be "translated" to other file formats or to your printer, and therefore they have to be converted to something that can be, in this case a very crude bitmap.Did you try printing as bitmap?I would love to see a file.Would be interesting to see what happens here, and also if I can find out what's causing it.
First, I would like to thank you for taking the time to help me with this problem. I have tried to upload a zip file but am having trouble with the process. Could I send you the file through email?
Here is a jpeg photo of a very large and complicated file that took weeks to build and prints beautifully. 100's of objects, drop shadows, etc. But, if I copy an object from this file into a new file I sometimes end up with jaggies. Grrr
Cool!I assume you are not building this in Draw, since copy-paste makes this jagginess appear?Copying from one Draw file to another (same version of Draw) should not affect quality in any way.Can you upload to a free upload service, or maybe to OneDrive or Google Drive, and then post a link.
