Re: Not my favorite manual

How many scans to choose when there are over 1000 shades of gray was an issue. Eight worked well enough. Actually, first I chose the actual number of shades and it took a while to process and came out too bold, then I think I tried 8 and it looked good except the background was light gray and not w...

Re: Not my favorite manual

I found the problem. Path > Break apart worked but only after I followed instructions in a YouTube video to convert it to a vector image. It was saved as an SVG file but it apparently wasn't vector. So now I can split it up the proper way. I solved the problem the improper way yesterday by enlarging...

Re: Not my favorite manual

I guess I'll try the tutorials. The flossmanuals info basically gives the same information about the selector tool as the Inkscape manual. I think what I need to know is how to move part of an object. I tried ungroup and it didn't work. I Googled for the phrase inkscape "move part of an object&...

Not my favorite manual

A keyword search and the Quick Start table of contents aren't helping and I have a feeling I have to read the entire manual which isn't the most user friendly way to learn. I have a svg file with a bar code and a product description under it. I want to move the product description to the left and ke...

Re: Just want to print

I wonder if Amazon is embedding some security code that's invisible to standard barcode readers.

Re: Just want to print

I uploaded the bar code without the numbers on the bottom to onlinebarcodereader and it gave me the same numbers that Amazon put on the bottom (the 0a is a carriage return) so I don't know why Inkscape and the bar code font didn't properly translate the number into the barcode. Format: CODE_128 Type...

Re: Just want to print

Anyway, I'm curious what numbers the bar code represents if not X001PRY315. Any way to check?

Re: Just want to print

What slightly differs is the text under the barcode (X001PRY315). But it's text UNDER the barcode, it's not part of the barcode and you could just discard it or replace it with a gothic font text and the barcode would still work But... I can't generate the barcode lines that Amazon gave me from the...

Re: Just want to print

http://www.barcodelink.net/barcode-font.php download 128 font Yeah, I think that's what Inkscape has too but the bar code looks different from the Amazon one that I attached above. Maybe Amazon uses a proprietary bar code. At least I don't have to generate it from the number so I don't really need ...

Re: Just want to print

It prints now! Maybe the new version of Inkscape fixed it somehow. I think my problem is solved. I guess to duplicate a bar code to create a full sheet I have to create a clone and adjust the coordinates to position them, one at a time.

Re: Just want to print

I updated to .92 on Windows 10 and I'm using a Brother black and white laser printer for a sheet of labels. I found Extensions > render > barcode > classic but none of the options produce the Amazon bar code I want. It should look like the attached file. I want to produce a sheet of barcodes that le...

Just want to print

I want to make a page of bar codes. I managed to paste in a large bar code from the clipboard that I got from a clear PDF file, scale it down to the right size, and copy and paste another one under it. Doing that in XNview resulted in too blurry a bar code when I printed it out so I was hoping Inksc...
