Printing ID Cards with Datacard Printer

Post by ProIT »

Hi there

I need to print ISO ID-1 Cards (85.60 x 53.98 mm, Datacard Printer SD260) I created an Report with the exact paper size and added images and stuff. When I try to print this report it seems like the whole report is scaled to something much larger than the card size thus there is only a small part of the whole document printed on the card. When I print it to PDF I can clearly see that the report is NOT resized. Please find the report, a PDF print and a image of the printer settings under the link http://www.proitag.ch/public/temp/stimulsoft.zip.

Thank you for your help
Mike

I figured it out myself. The image in the report had a brush with value black

Code: Select all

<Brush>Black</Brush>
As soon as I changed this value to

Code: Select all

<Brush>Transparent</Brush>
it worked.

However I have no idea why it worked on all printers except on the card printer. After upgrading to 2018.3.3 the problem with zooming was gone too.
