[thelist] Problem printing files from Fireworks 3

[Chris Williams]

Couple of questions:

1.  Are you printing a flattened image?
2.  What color mode are you working in?
If you are going to print out in color, your colors should be converted to
their CMYK equivalent.  Photoshop handles this better than Fireworks, as
this program is primarily designed for web and interactive programs, like
Director.
3.  How about print screen, paste it back in to Fireworks, and print it out?
This may give you an idea if it is the file, or if it is your monitor which
is giving you an incorrect color profile.

Subject: [thelist] Problem printing files from Fireworks 3


I am using Fireworks 3 as a layout tool for interface designs for a site i
am working on at the moment, but when I try to print the files out (on an HP
LaserJet 8500) the colour balance is completely upside down.

Black and white are printed correctly, but colours are, almost but not
quite, inverted.

If I export from Fireworks and import the resultant files into Word, they
print out fine on the same printer. This is a quick fix, but unfortunately,
I am producing multi-framed .png files and have to export each frame
individually, which is a pain, rather than just being able to print 'all
frames' from within Fireworks.
