Let them get eaten by the other stuff on the page, and your 'real' image (hopefully) stays intact. If that doesn't work, then chances are you'll have to either shrink your logo a bit, or reformat your text to print a little lower. Depending on what your PCL program can do, you might also want to look at laying down the image *AFTER* the text rather than before. Another option is that (I think) PCL allows you to specify whether images are laid down by simple writes, or ANDing or ORing. If the problem is that the character blocks are being just written, then you MAY be able to set PCI settings to have that data ORed (at a bit of a speed cost, but that should be trivial, these days) Like scott, it's been a long time since I've worked with raw PCL (about 14 years for me) -- Stephen Samuel +1(604)876-0426 samuel@bcgreen.com http://www.bcgreen.com/~samuel/ Powerful committed communication.
