Graphics shift when printing

[lonntj]

I've got an interesting problem. I have a number of layouts that consist of mostly static text and a few merge fields (they're form letters). At the bottom is a container (global) that has a bitmap signature image in it. It all looks great on screen, but when I print it the signature shifts vertically relative to the text so that its in the way wrong place. I've tried it with out the container and the image just pasted into the layout -- same problem. This layout has other graphic elements as well, and they line up just fine with each other.

Any ideas?

Sounds like you have the container field set to slide up when printing. What does it look like in Preview mode?

One trick that might work for you is to put the container field into the footer and size the footer so it places the signature where you want it.

Thanks, but it looks like its not filemaker's fault-

I tried printing to a different printer, and no problems with that one. If I use a font that's not installed on the initital printer everything works fine. Guess I need to take this one up with the printer company.
