On Screen / PDF / Print: looks different


Recommended Posts

Can someone please have a look at these and tell me whats going wrong.

Looking at the right hand side "decked" area for each image you will notice:

On Screen: Appears Fine

PDF: Appears Fine

Print: Few deck lines disappear

(decking is a hatch)

No idea about what's going wrong.

In case the area is drawn with a polygon, does it have extra control points along it's bottom or top border ? If so, I'd delete them.

Another thing to try as a workaround : open the hatch, and move the startpoint XY by a teeny weeny bit.

Looks to me that your printer is out of memory and therefor skips some information.

The phenomenon Gerrit explains could also be it, but normally it should also be visible on screen, so I don't think it's that one (but it never hurts to try it out first of course :) ).

Do you have this with a lot of drawings, or just this one? If only this one, then maybe it would be better to make a PDF out of it and print that one, otherwise you'll loose a lot of time finding the problem (just my experience).

The decking is a rectangle.

It seems that when an object with "opacity" less tha 100% is placed over a hatch it does this.

I have a relativly new printer (HP Color LaserJet CM1015 PCL 6)

Does this sound like a pirnter related issue?

Are you using patterns rather than hatches?

Patterns can be random in terms of reproduction at the printer end.

What resolution have you set your printer in the dialogue

File>Document Settings>Document Preferences>Resolution.

You might find this varies between the pdf setting and the printer setting
