Dear Betty, Boy do I have a puzzle for you???? I have been using ProDraw2.0 for about a week with good results, although the printing speed leaves a lot to be desired. Anyway, the other day I digitized some images with DigiView, touched them up with DPIV, adjusted the palatte with PIXMATE and then Traced them with Pro Draw. Then after I loaded the clips and saw them on the screen they looked great. However when they started printing something peculiar happened. Strip #1 printed exactly as it appeared on screen, but 2 and 3 pinted without one of the colors; (mostly black). To make matters worse about 30% of the strip came out perfect but the other 70% had a missing color. I tried everything but all to no avail. To make matters ugly the correct image printed out only once. After I moved the image to the bottom of the screen page. OK I thought I can deal with that, but that too was short-lived, as the next image had the same problem, no matter where on the page I put it. To end this lengthy perplexion, today Sunday I loaded some of the clips that came with the original package and they printed perfectly. So I loaded up my ProPage original, loaded my own clips and the problem reappeared, leading me to think that the problem lies with the TRACE UTILITY on my original disk. You know for three years I have been telling people to let me handle their GRaphic work and now when I'm finally getting calls I can't deliver. Can you or ANYONE help me with this dilemma???? I anxiously await your reply. Sincerely, Dennis Martelli
