Thanks very much for that. It's definitely an OSX and also X-Rip issue. We have got around it by keeping OS9 on board, devising a way of opening VW10 within OS9 and using this whenever we need to print overlaid colours. Thought I'd tell you as I found others have battled with this under the 'printing from VW' forum.

Hi again, We upgraded from Mac OS 9 to X at the same time. [Maybe my wry comment about the benefits of upgrades are better directed to Apple]. The printers are the same- though we had to update the drivers to work with OS X. If you are familier with such issues, we'd appreciate any advice. In case it helps, the printers are Epson Stylus Colour 1150 and HP Designjet 450C- the latter driven by a UK based software called Microspot X-Rip. It's worth noting that the solid colour fill overlays disappear on print preview irrespective of the printer selected. Graded fills behave as if in 'paint' mode. Thanks, Nick.

Thanks for that, but it doesn't explain why it worked perfecctly before in VW9.0, using the same printers. Unfortunately we don't expect such a major disadvantage from upgrading (though we are really enjoying the graded colour fills).

We often like to apply solid colour fills over scanned images. Since upgrading from 9.0 to 10 we find that solid colours do not print (or appear on print preview) and that one of the pattern colours "paints" over the image. What's happened? ... or how can we get the same result again?
