Pepakura Problem

[mustang2500]

I am trying to do the Halo 3 Magnum. I have loaded it on the program, and have printed off some of thepages. But sometimes when I print, it will just print the numbers, not any lines. What is wrong? Is it the program or is it the printer? I have an HP C3-100 printer, and all the setting match. Help?

first off take the print cartridge out and shake it. replace and try print
if this doesn't work
Set the line thickness higher and make the lines darker

if these don't work replace catridge with a new one and try printing

No no, I'm sure it's not the cartridges because it will still print the numbers perfectly.

this happened to me.
here's what you do:
in Print & Paper Settings you must change it from "print lines smoothly (bitmap print)" to "print lines clearly (vector print)"

I tried that, but it just prints big black rectangles. This is starting to really p*ss me off!

 

[alexleo]

it worked for me.

what's your line thickness?
mine's 3

(This may vary whether its pepakura designer 2 or 3 but im not sure)
This is for pepakura designer 2
File>Print and Paper Configuration...
the Window will pop up
on transparency change it to whatever it is and make it higher.
That should work.

I had a similar problem and I realized that I was trying to print from Pep Viewer and not Designer. Make sure you're using Pepakura Designer, otherwise the numbers show up dark and the lines hardly show up at all.

 

[mustang2500]

The line thickness is 3. And yes, I'm using Designer 3, but it sounds very familiar to me.

 

[Flulia]

I use the Print lines smoothly (bitmap print) setting

The only other thing I can suggest is to try changing the line transparency, mines at 25%?

Hope that helps or that you figure it out soon!

Well, I don't know what I did, but I disabled the hide the flat lines thing, and now it works. There's alot of annoying lines on it, but better then none.

make sure you're set to vector print, your line thickness is 3, all your surfaces are white and not gray or a different color, and that the line opacity is set to 100%.

If that doesn't work then reinstall Pepakura.

Pep designer 2 is IMO way better than 3 for everything. Never had any problems with anything.
