SUM: MI Printing - frustration!!
Since I posted my message re. printing a week ago. I have discovered that my white regions printed due to a problem/bug with the MapImagery MBX loaded to display the ER Mapper compressed ECW mosaic algorithm. A fellow MapInfow user, here in Perth (thanks Howard) came up with the solution to turn off the processing option "Show progress bar during processing" in MapImagery Options. This is with version 6.030 (Jun 14 1999). See http://www.gid.com The MBX works fine otherwise.

RE: MI Printing - frustration!!
Thanks Niel (and all) for your comments. I did convert all the data to polylines and this worked OK but I shouldn't have to do that!! Creating duplicate datasets, goes against the grain. The actual plots sent to the plotter were HPGL plotfiles created using the v4.1 driver ie print to file. The settings were to "in printer". It created 45Mb HPGL files which I zipped up and copied to our remote server in Dampier (Nth West Aus.) A colleague in our exploration office (where the plotter is situated), then copied the plots to the HPDJ1055. Lars Bagge Nielsen mentioned "try NT4.0 service pack 4. If not or also use hp drivers which uses hpgl, fx hp2000 hpgl (rtl?)" I am on that OS, but am not sure what he meant by fx? Could he mean use the HP DJ 2000 series plotters drivers? Perhaps he could elaborate. I particularly liked Neil (MidNight Mapper) Havermale's comment! Thanks again, Chris PS Funny, nobody has commented on the ProPress App.?

From: Neil Havermale Then I found HTML and VRML and I left that moment behind.. That's great. How about some detail. Tim Rood -- To unsubscribe from this list, send e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and put "unsubscribe MAPINFO-L" in the message body, or contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Chris - Yes, I too used to fret and fear the making of reality from the ephermeric vapors of a layout. Then I found HTML and VRML and I left that moment behind..

MI Printing - frustration!!
I would just like to vent my frustration about printing and MapInfo. I have two A1 portrait maps (1:12,500 scale) adjacent and overlapping each other ie West & East. Both contain an aerial photo image with simple lease regions overlayed on top of the image. I am printing using the latest (v4.1) HP drivers to a brand new HP DesignJet 1055 plotter. I normally use postscript but it does not appear to produce good image output. The West sheet prints just fine but the East sheet has one small lease which prints as a solid white, therefore obliterating the image underneath. This same lease region is on the West map but prints OK? There appears to be no explanation to why this may be happening? Why Oh Why is printing such a weak and problematic area?? BTW, I have been trying the MI ProPress application also. This I thought would answer all my printing problems, but as someone has mentioned before the app. does not appear to work? My first try of a large map with image and vectors to our HP650 pscript with 68Mb RAM came up with "Out of Memory"! All procedures were followed word for word in the PDF manual supplied? Anyway I cannot waste any more time on this, I do not expect anyone out there to wave a magic wand and come back with explanations or solutions to my problem. I just wanted to let of some steam!!
