Hi Everybody,
I have an SVG with a JPEG image embedded in it.
<image x="0" y="0" width="94px" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xlink:href="" xlink:type="simple" xlink:actuate="onRequest"
height="518px" preserveAspectRatio="xMidYMid meet" xlink:show="replace"/>
Outer SVG has width 96 and height 537 and a no-op viewbox (0 0 537 96).
The JPEG is 118K in size, is 296 pixels by 1619 pixels and is at 300 dpi and pixel depth/colours is 8/ 256.
Everything looks fine on screen with ASV6 and Batik.
When I print this svg to a particular (300dpi) printer (Astro-Med QLS3001) from my application I get a filled black rectangle where the JPEG should be.
When I just use svg rects, text etc. these are printed ok on this printer. Any embedded JPEG image prints as a black rectangle. I don't get this problem with other printers types that I have tried.
So the problem appears to be related to the Astro-Med printer/driver.
However, when the JPEG is converted to a PDF (using Adobe Illustrator) it prints perfectly to the printer. So Acrobat appears to be doing something differently when it renders the image for the printer.
Can anybody throw any light on this ?
I'm using Win2000, J2SE 1.4.2, Batik 1.5.1.
Thanks,
Patrick
