dullish box problems??

[michael]

I drag images from internet. Vectors and jpegs
every time i print them out i have a dull grey box behind them....Please help im stuck

What graphic program are you using to print your images?
Can you post an example of an image you are using then maybe we can help you better.

im using coreldraw 12 with an icc profile for sublimation
ive tried uploading image but cant find url

[michael]

i think its summat to do with rgb and cymk if im honest

[Paul]

if its custom icc profile then its more to do with temperature of the white. you need to have your icc edited to different white point.

hi Paul.
yea i got my icc from yourself.
prints out normal pictures awesome.
everytime i drag image from net it always has greyish box around it. jpegs and vectors
do you think it could be settings ?

[michael]

is that something i can do or yourself?

[Paul]

if you mean by transparent images or those with white background print grey then yes, its white point. i can do it for you. pm me with your icc name and i will sort it out for you.

Are you just dragging and dropping images from the net. It depende what kind of images but have you converted the image to a bitmap and then traced it or you could try a bitmap mask. The other way I have done it is to draw around the image using the beizer tool, make this an object, and then use the powerclip feature.

Oh my, this is getting very complex.

Perhaps it is something a little simpler?

I tend to think it is an RGB vs CMYK issue
