With EasyPC V18,if I add a BMP,resized,in my PCB layout,
and try to print it, some times the BMP cover some of the
tracks. It looks OK on the screen but when printed blocks
some tracks.
Any ideas...?
Thanks in advance..

Thanks to all for your suggestions.
I will try with ttf font editors.

Cut and pasted from a while back ...

Just revisited all this as I had to get a logo onto a board. This time what I did was convert the supplied bitmap into a DXF file using FAB3000 ... there will be other free convertors out there that can do this I am sure. Then I imported the DXF with the scaling I needed on to the silk screen layer. In my particular case the dxf was made up of tiny little boxes so I just selected the whole thing and on the properties clicked the filled box and all good.
Generated gerbers and the logo is there !
Quick and effective solution.

Warning!
The BMP image will not appear in the Gerber files anyway, as Gerber is a vector format and incompatible with BMP.
Search for other threads re Importing BMP formats via alternative from true type font conversion if you require the image to be included in the Gerber file.
