Windows 7, Finale 2011, 2014, 2014.5, 25

There are two logos on this template: the event's logo in the upper left hand corner, above the "No." placeholder, and my personal engraving logo in the lower left hand corner. Neither logo will print on a printer: all I get is an outline of each with the file name on it.

Oddly, the event logo WILL print when I make PDFs.

Any suggestions on file dimensions, size, resolution, type, or anything, much appreciated.

It appears those logos are linked to the file. Have you tried embedding the graphics.

Zuill, the manual gives no instructions on how to do this:

"Finale doesn’t actually embed a graphic in your Finale document when you place a graphic. Instead, it places a link to the graphic’s location on your computer."

Any suggestions appreciated.

Those instruction seem to be, erhm, not updated.

Finale can embed the graphic in the Finale document, or (to reduce the file size) link to the graphic.

In the Graphics Tool there is command for inspecting a graphic:
Graphics menu > Attributes…

One of the options in the dialog box Graphic Attributes is the option “Link to File”.
The graphic is embedded if “Link to File” is de-selected.

What format are the logos, and what is your printer?
