Hi. I made a calenar with macros. Nothing fancy. Basically i have black text on a white background and a white text on a orange background with the same font. The problem is with my print, the black text is perfect, but the white text is distort,fuzzy, like a bad bitmap.
P.S. I use Corel X4
I hope you can help me and I appreciate your time.  Thank you!

Hi Virgil

Sorry for the delay. I thought I'd already answered your question but today I've found it's still here in my list!

I was wondering if perhaps this is a printer problem. Print a simple test, with a bit of white text on orange background and see what happens. If you still get the fuzz, visit your printer website and download the latest drivers. I know you hear this all the time, but sometimes it does make a difference.

If your test prints ok it's a CorelDraw problem and I have no idea what's causing it. If you like you can send me the file to allexperts@nhbusiness.co.uk and I'll take a look for you.

My main area of continuous expertise with CorelDraw involves setting press advertisements and I have rarely used it to produce complex drawings. However as director of a small company I have amassed a good deal of background knowledge of computers, various printers and networks over the years. When it comes to problem-solving, I have a long history of having nobody to ask but myself and, lately, the internet!
