If you still can't get it to work, you could show us the SVG file, and maybe we could find the problem. Those tabs look almost identical, and I get them mixed up myself, all the time Make sure about the opacity of the layer, and that the layer's not locked or hidden when you print.ĭoes the image fall entirely within the page border? If not, then objects with areas outside the border might not print at all (depending on settings and type of printer).

When you print on paper, with the black stroke, does the white print then? Is it only when you remove the stroke that the white doesn't print?Īre you able to print any color for the fill? Are you able to print (practice) on paper with the fill set to any other color besides white?

Those tabs look almost identical, and I get them mixed up myself, all the time Make sure about the opacity of the layer, and that the layer's not locked or hidden when you print. I have tried exporting as a bitmap and printing it that way but I still get nothing. If you're using the Fill and Stroke dialog, make sure you're looking at the Fill tab for the fill, and Stroke Paint for stroke. When I select the object with the select tool and set the fill to flat color and the stroke to no paint it disappears from the screen, but is still visible if I hover over it with the "edit paths by nodes" tool. So far I have managed to print the logo onto white paper and it comes out with a black outline which I can't have. I am using it to reproduce a guitar headstock logo and can't seem to figure it out.
