[DR6.2] Why are my images printed differenty than preview/export
Hi DAW,
We want to print company logos onto our reports but we seem to be getting different results when printing compared to previewing and exporting (to pdf).
We have decided on the Size & DPI that we'll use as our standard logo size for reports based on using the Preview and Exports but when it comes to printing, we get different results - the image is shrunk down too small.
I've set the 'Image Display' setting of the image object set to 'Original' - The reason is that we don't want DR to automatically scale the image if we receive an image size that's different from our standard.

This is a scan of the Printed report

This is an export of the Report

The above example uses an image with the size of 5.74 inches x 0.67 inches at 96 dpi and was exported and printed from the same previewer screen.
My question (s):
1. How do I make sure that the printed report matches the preview/export

Rol,
When set to original the image should be clipped when it does not fit the object space.
Are you saying the image get scaled during printing and not during export and preview?
I have not seen or heard about this before. Have you tried with different printer drivers? For example with the Microsoft XPS printer driver?

This seems to be the case from my tests. if you look at the scanned image. That is the exact same report that was printed off of the exported report (image 2).
Also, I tried on 2 different printers; OKI and Sharp. I got the same results from both printers.[/COLOR]

Rol,
Please send a report with only the image via [url]https://hde.dataaccess.eu[/url] and specify the right version to use, test with.

Martin,
Are you using PNG images as well?
Re: [DR6.2] Why are my images printed differenty than preview/export
No, i am using JPG, i have tried a couple of the formats, but same result.
I have made an image the exact size that i want to print out so i use the value (think it was default size) in the property pane.
If i preview i get an exact image, but if i print or export to PDF the quality reduces.
