...by CorelDraw. Still.
Alternative posts title "Leggo my ears- I know what I'm doing", the oft-shouted cry of a female ex-workmate web designer when MS Frontpage used to inject loads of MS junk into her hand crafted code- it became a bit of a catchphrase.
So. I've found the laser driver's bit that's automatically dithering (badly) images and I'm now running in full manual mode so the laser driver in theory just passes the info to the laser.
But CorelDraw is interfering with my lovingly-crafted 1-bit images (that I make in Photoshop because I can work that and because much of the imagery is taken straight from my camera and requires a bit of fluffing and boiling down to essentials first). But CorelDraw still does things to the image.
No matter how big the image is, or how far I shrink it, I get the error message Part of your image is below 96 DPI. I bloody well know it isn't. As far as I know the workspace is 300 dpi, as the default DPI of my laser, (thanks to Rodne and this thread:

I've even, with micrometers, made images that dot-for-dot were EXACTLY the size I needed for the job and CorelDraw messes it up; gives me the "96 DPI" error and passes out substandard cack.
The only way I can lose the "96 DPI" stuff is use the "convert to bitmap" command, which does equally unwanted stuff to the image.
How can I get CorelDraw to do my bidding or -better yet- leave my images alone?
