  • Images not priting correctly

    Posted by James@MP on 21 July 2005 at 18:14

    I have two .ai files which corel will not import so i converted them to .eps through photoshop, i then import them into corel that way. but as far as i know these images are b/w line drawings but when i go to print them on my pc-50 for my labels it keeps asking for the colour cartridges even though everything on there is black and white, if i remove these logos it prints in black straight away, what do i have to do to these files so corel doesnt try to use colours to print these.

    Thanks your help in advance, i would of attached the files but there 450k which is a bit bigger than 350, and i haven’t learnt how to shrink them down yet.

    Check that all images and associated items are greyscale if you are only going to black and white. It may help, but you can only try and find out….

    Make sure the black is a spot colour or 100% K

    In Photoshop make sure you change the mode to Grayscale or I believe you can select the image in Corel and convert it to grayscale or a bitmap.

    Just keep in mind that by bringing it into Photoshop you rasterized the file and is no longer a vector (even though you saved it as an eps)

    A better option if you have illustrator would be to save it as version 7 or 8 and it should import into corel.

    To shrink eps or AI files just make them really small in the program (size) and the file size reduces at least that was what I was told to do just keep usin the handles to make them smaller.
