Hello Everyone...

I got no idea how to send an image to a printer using CMYK.

I have been looking arround and cant find any solution to my problem.

I need to send any bitmap to a CMYK Thermal Printer using VB.NET

What happends is that when I sent the image, is printed on the CMY layers of the film and not on the K. (it does happend either the image is RGB or CMYK). This also causes any text or elements that are in black (like a barcode) to print very grayish and fuzzy.

If I send my data to print to a virtual PDF printer, and later use Acrobat Reader to print the generated document, it does print properly in CMYK.

If anyone can help I would trully appreciate. I have almost a month trying to find a solution and cant come with the right one. (Very exhausted and frustrated at this point).

Thanks in advance for any code sample, link or help.
