Omega 5.0 Printing one Solid Color Block

[D-Kal]

Hello, Everyone

Am attempting to print my design it is a one color w/ script's ( text ) and for someone reason it just prints a solid block.

I wonder what am I doing wrong?

Is your image a vector or is it a bitmap?

Hello, Fred

It is a vector image.

 

[Fred Weiss]

A couple of possibilities ...

Control +D to check that everything is on the same vinyl.

F2 to Select All and 0 (zero) to combine all shapes.

Thanks Fred

I got it to print but know its printing like a checked flag, design on the fonts and not solid black.

 

[Fred Weiss]

Release the combining and select each group of black objects and combine them.

 

[D-Kal]

Am new to Omega , Exactly how do I go about doing so.

 

[Fred Weiss]

F2 to Select All

9 to release Combine

F3 to unselect

Shift click to select individual objects

0 to combine

If you can't get it figured out, send the file to the email in my signature.

For anyone interested, the primary problem with the file was duplicate white vectors hidden beneath the black vectors. This is a common issue with Illustrator files where a Pathfinder operation has been executed in creating it. Once they were removed the file combined correctly.

It takes a while to get used to Omega, I always find flicking between wireframe and fill helps when trying to proof ready for print. Good luck.

Anytime I import vector files into Omega I look for these issues. Especially .ai files.
