text bleeding problem

When using the text tool, creating an image with the gimp...the image looks fine on the screen; however when I print the image there appears to be a bleeding around the actual image. Has anyone had this problem and if so do you know any solutions to correcting it. Thanks AJ

It would help to provide a link to the actual picture.

Maybe it has to do with the format the image was saved in. Depending on what the colors are, jpeg compression can cause anomalies that could be described as bleeding of the image. But these are usually visible on a monitor too.
Other compression algorithms could do the same.

You could try...saving in a non-compressing format (but start with the original, once compressed it can't be undone) and try printing again.

Regards, Sam

And perhaps a copy of the generated PostScript file (print to file).

Don't forget that gimp-print project is mostly separate from the gimp project (they do more than produce the gimp's print plugin), and they have their own mailing list. I would imagine they would be interested in print output that differs from screen output.

The gimp-print web site is: http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/

The gimp-print mailing list is: gimp-print-devel@lists.sourceforge.net
