    IMPORTANT

    What you see in print preview is what the Windows spooler will get when printing, so we recommend to ALWAYS preview and confirm before printing. If there is anything wrong in print preview, e.g. wrong color, missing parts, paper overflow, etc, please go back and review your design and all relative settings in EaglePrint and in the drawing software.

    If you cannot see the colors in the design, click the tab Color and check if the option Color conversions is set to CorelDRAW and the option Output colors is set to RGB, or if the option Color conversions is set to EaglePrint.
