Hi there, When I print off the item I made on inkscape the words are coming out blurry when I have them on the color background I want, but once i take the background away they come out just fine. I am printing them right off of inkscape. Do you have any solutions for this? Anything would be appreciated. Thanks, Don Maple River Farms 1150 E. Hibbard Rd. / PO Box 427 Owosso, MI 48867 989-743-4344

Hi Henry, you can learn more about filters here: https://inkscape-manuals.readthedocs.io/en/latest/filters.html Copy-pasting a filter from one object to another is done with Ctrl+C and then Ctrl+Shift+V on the other object.

/Resent since original had a large image which needed the moderator. / //I am trying to simulate what would be the effect of using wood veneers in a design created using Inkscape. I know I can create a design with a number of closed areas so that all I have to do is to select a particular area and then choose a colour to fill that area. The picture below shows a selection of typical veneers I want to show. As can be seen the veneers are not a flat colour. Is there any way I can used a scanned image of the veneer so that I can see the variation of colour when I use this to fill a selected area of my design?
