Printing Transparent Bitmap Images

[Chipp Walters]

Hi Fred,
Sorry so late to the party, I've been away the last week and am just now 
catching up.

A couple of things you might try:

1) On PC (don't know if it works on Macs) you can overlap text with a 
single image below it, the text will print with the image underneath 
correctly.

2) You can use my compositing library at:
http://www.altuit.com/webs/altuit2/RunRev/Downloads.htm to composite 
your overlapping images.

3) You can print at higher resolutions by using
  print card from topLeft to rightBottom into pageRect

If you want to print at 150 dpi, try making your card:

8.5*150 pixels wide X 11.0*150 pixels high

best,

Chipp
