Graphics printing

[Greg Wills]

Hi All

Sorry to persist with this issue, but I have come up to a brick wall 
(and my head is now hurting). Thanks for your suggestions Jacqueline. 
No joy though. Have installed the most recent drivers - no change.

I have added below what I wrote some time ago in August to give you the 
background.

The only "breakthrough" I have had is that a networked Minolta laser 
printer with 16mb or ram printed the card and all the graphics. The 
Lexmark's, that many schools have, have 4mb  - and don't print the 
large graphic at the back.

1. These printers do print graphics, ie full page photos in Word! Does 
anyone understand how Rev organizes the info for printing? Could this 
difference in spooling of data (or whatever) be an issue in this 
problem?

2. Does anyone have access to a networked printer that they could test 
a sample stack for me?

3. Has anyone had a similar problem with printing cards with large 
graphics? (I mean large as in area covered - as I have already tried a 
number of variations of file sizes and have got the file size down to 
128mb.)



Thanks
Greg Wills

"I have been having this problem for a year or so and have been waiting 
to see if Rev 2 would resolve the issue - but no it has not. I have 
been discussing this with Kevin, but I now suspect that it may be a 
computer / printer problem, not a Rev problem.

"Issue. Printing a card that has buttons, fields, graphics and a large 
graphic on layer 1. On my home Mac, this prints beautifully. On a work 
"windows" machine (networked to a Lexmark printer) it prints the card 
OK, except for the large graphic in the background. I have tried many 
options on the printer and the closest that I got today was setting the 
output to 300dpi (down from 1200 and then 600), which at least printed 
some vague indication of a graphic in the background.

"Does anyone know of a work around, or should I resort to capturing the 
card as one graphic, then printing this? And if this is the case, is 
there an easy way of doing this? This issue has really been holding 
these projects up, so would love any suggestions.
