Printing Pattern from Library

[scrollerpete]

I tried to print a pattern from the library and my printer just print like a shadow, tried 2 or 3 times same result.

Did I do anything wrong?

Patterns that i tried was the Christmas Tivet and Celtic one also.

Your printer should have a test print ... or try something like printing an EMAIL...

I can print anything else it is not the printer.

For printing l always first copy the image to the desktop.

 

Then i right click on it and select print.  I print in 8 x 10 size as that is the size of paper I have.  It will automatically maximize the space on the paper so I dont need to fiddle with margins and the like.

 

If it is smaller I open a word document and insert pic from there, then I can size it the way I need as word has lose ruler things on the sides and top so i can get an idea what size it will be on a sheet of paper.

Greetings,

I save the pattern to my PC and then open it with my graphics editing program.

(I use Photoshop but, any editing program will work).

After I open it in Photoshop, I can re-size the image, change the color or

width of lines, etc. and then print it from the graphics editor or copy it to a

document and print it from there.

If you don't have a graphics editor, there are lots of free ones and many people

on this forum and others that I frequent use GIMP or INKSCAPE.

Taking it to the Photoshop first allows me to see exactly what size it is, etc.

before printing. I can also flood the entire pattern with a different color and see if

there are any floaters that have to be fixed.

Good luck and God Bless! Spirithorse
