some objects not printed as to seen in the image - why?
Hello,
I have created an simple, vintage looing calling card. It contains two colored graphic objects, that are properly shown on the screen.
But if I print the image, those objects are only printed as kind of white shadows.
What setting causes that effect and how can I solve this problem?
Thank you very much for helping!

Holger, thanks for posting your calling card.
Apart from not having your Fonts, it presents all OK here.
I didn't print it but exported the design to a PNG and I know it would then print fine.
I can't see the point of the background being a picture as you could recreate this with plasma cloud fill quite easily; I would normally do this to be able to rescale my output and not be dependent on a bitmap resolution that might be too low. It's presently 96dpi and I assume that unless it is an image for a site, it may need printing at 300dpi for best effect.

I have insert now two additional images: numer 1 is showing how it looks on my screen and numer 2 is a scan of the printing result.
Concerning the background: I would like to have a vintage paper background and do not know how to make it with that plasma cloud fill. But I will look for a higher resolution paper background.

Holger, try upping the export resolution by exporting the Calling Card at 300dpi as a PNG, then print that.
I think it is two PNGs on top of a 96dpi JPG that is the problem.
To prove it, remove the background image and replace with a flat Rectangle of similar colour.

Hi Holger, According to your profile you are using Xtreme Pro 5 is this information still current? I'll gladly put together a short tutorial on creating an old looking piece of paper using the fractal fills and transparencies, but it will help if I know for sure what version you are using. :)

Thank you for your help and comments!
angelize, I use Xtreme Pro 5 and have now installed Xara Designer Pro X too, because I think about upgrading to this. So a tutorial for Pro X would be a fine help. Thank you very much!
best regards
Holger

A new version of Designer Pro is expected somewhere between now and July, so you might want to wait for that.

Fixed. I tried several things. There seemed to be something wrong with the two images. I made a bitmap copy of them deleted the others and put the copies where they belonged and it prints fine now.

This drawing exports to PDF and the PDF prints just fine.
Were these guns a trace? Looks/acts like it to me.
Take care, Mike
