I am new to Inkscape. I have been using Corel Draw 8 to design builders plater for Live Steam 7-1/2" locomotives. I use it about once a year. Corel no longer works because I have switched to 64 bit Vista.

I can design the plate ok and I like the Inkscape tools. But I need to print a mirror reverse image on my desktop printer. This allows me to transfer the toner image to the brass plate using a household iron. Then I etch away the brass.

Corel has options in the print menue to do this.

How do I do this with InkScape?

Thanks Jim

I don't think you can specify Inkscape to print in reverse, but you can flip the whole image in one operation. First, group everything that you want to flip (select everything then go Object > Group or Ctrl + G). Then go to Object > Flip horizontally or simply press 'H'

Hope that helps!
