  • X4 Leaves ‘cutout’ in image when using artistic text

    Posted by Roger Weichert on July 29, 2008 at 4:47 am

    Hi, wondering if someone can help with a problem I’m having please.

    Have laid out a flyer in X4, and all has gone well .. except for one bit of text (only two words) that insists on printing out with a box behind it .. over the top of the background.

    In other words .. there is a small white background behind the words .. like a text box .. which covers the background gradient.

    All the other text .. simply typed in the same way, in various places on my work .. ‘sits’ on top of the image without leaving a box. 😕

    I’ve tried everything I can think of, with no results.

    I’ve even re-imported the background gradient fill etc in case I had somehow erased the little patch .. no better.

    It doesn’t show up on the monitor either .. only when I print it …!!!!!!

    Thanks, Roger

    Any way you can upload the file somewhere so we can see it. Are you using lenses or transparencies?

    Thanks for the response Alan.

    No I’m not using either .. I simply have a gradient fill in the back of my page (for effect) .. a heap of illustrations .. and then their accompanying labels.

    I thought I had applied the text in the same way when I labeled each illustration, so don’t know what went wrong.

    There is good news though .. I have just found that by sending the text to the back of the page, then forward one step .. that it solved the problem.

    I’m rapt that it is now solved .. just wish I understood why just the one bit of text caused so much drama, when all the other text was created the same way

    … and I’m especially glad that this one is only a small print … not a 3mtr banner or something like that.

    The file is about 50Mb too .. so not so easy to send anywhere either.

    Thanks, Roger
