Black lines show up on final print

In CS4 when ever I save to PDF and try to print my document these horizontal black lines show up.  They are most notable around areas with varying transparency.
This happen to anyone else? Any ideas?

Is your print head clean and are you using the right paper? Sounds like it's simply spitting too much ink on the paper and it smears... also reset your printer driver settings, if you used some "Saturation" tweaks. This will increase the amount of ink used and further the issue.

  • Grid Lines show up in certain print types.

    HP Officejet Pro 8600 all in one.Imac OS 10.6.8When ever I print in black and white mode for any size or type document or when I print in color to a single 4x6 photo page the vertical grid lines show up on the print.  I don't have this problem when I print the same 4x6 color photo on a full size 8x10 page.  I don't have this problem whenever I print any document in color.  I have deep cleaned the print heads and realigned the print heads several times; but I cannot lose the grid lines when I print in black and white and try to print color to the smaller format paper?   I love this printer otherwise.  Setup was easy, operation is user friendly, and it prints beautifully other than these two little annoying instances.  Can anyone offer a solution?

    Yes, I am experiencing this as well.  Thin black vertical lines about 2.8cm apart.  Initially I thought they were just on things sent to the printer from Photoshop, but now I see them on colour items I print directly from the copier and on an email attachment from my iPad.  At times the lines are barely visible ant that is what happened when I was talking wiht hp support.  It looked as though the problem had been solved after reloading the software onto my iMac.  But afterI hung up with them it happened again and when I went back to look at the other prints the lines were there too but not very visible.  I have cleaned and aligned the heads and replaced an empty yellow cartridge.  I printed a blank white sheet that had no lines.  I cannot figure it out.  Any suggestions anyone?

  • New PAR - Will The Black Lines Show on TV?

    Hi all,
    It's been a while since I had to prepare HD footage for PAL DVD replication, so I've just encountered a 'new' problem of black bars left and right of the frame.
    My source footage is 1080/25.  I am encoding (using CS6) to MPEG 2 Widescreen DVD, 7mb/s CBR, at the new forced Adobe PAR preset of 1.458.
    My finished MPEG2 output has black bars left and right.  Now I suspect that these will not show up on TV sets, but as I will be producing thousands of copies of this documentary, I must be CERTAIN that these lines will never show up on any TV set, be it Plasma, LCD, LED, CRT etc.
    I know others suggest zooming in to fill the frame to get rid of the bars in the finished file, but I'm just not willing to do that.
    This issue has caused a major plug in my workflow, as the replication company are waiting to go.  If anyone can swiftly put my mind at rest on this, I'd really appreciate it!
    Thanks in advance.
    Paul

    Since you are editing HD and exporting SD, it might be difficult to know for certain, In fact, I am reasonably sure that someone, on something, will see those bars.
    However, and this depends on the content, you might be better off bringing your HD sequence into a new sequence that matches the settings of your export. (1.4587)
    Rather than "Scale to Frame Size", use Motion to scale it to fit the way you want it. You decide exactly what gets cut off, if anything. In fact, once again depending on the content, you may find you want to scale it down a little less in certain areas of the timeline. With this method, scaling up to see a more specific part of the frame is lossless as long as you do not exceed 100%.
    It should take very little time to try this out. Just toss your existing sequence into a new sequence and export a few seconds of it. See what happens.

  • I get fine black lines on my prints when i print my photos how do i get ride of them?

    I get fine, black, grid lines on my photos when i print, how do i remove the black lines?

    First run a print quality test. If that passes perfectly install the latest driver for the printer, even if you already have the latest driver installed.
    If the print test results are not perfect run nozzle cleaning routines until results are perfect.
    Sometimes an ink cartridge will fail, but before replacing an expensive cartridge run nozzle cleaning and print testing a dozen times.

  • PDF exporting with thin black lines around some images

    Hi there,
    I have spent A LOT of time making a custom SAVE THE DATE card and I cannot find a solution to this problem. When I am working in the document, I do not see thin borders around any of the images but when I export to PDF they show up. I have NO BORDERS selected for all images in the document and cannot figure out why they keep showing up after export. 
    I have attached a screen grab of what the document looks like when I am working on it, and another one of what it looks like after export. I am using Pages 5.2.2 and OS X version 10.9.5
    I need to order these SAVE THE DATES by tomorrow to take advantage of the 60% off! Thanks so much for your help!

    I am seeing this same problem in a family newsletter I've created.  The lines do not show up in Pages, but when I export to pdf (or print to pdf), the lines appear.  When I print the document, no lines appear.
    Here's what the top of the newsletter looks like - the black lines show up on all the pages, and in the beige-covered overlay, crosshatching is visible.   The template I'm using was in existence two years ago, but doesn't seem to exist in Pages anymore.  Would that have anything to do with the lines showing up?
    I also found this link, but can't apply any of the suggested fixes, since they apply to Adobe:  <http://helpx.adobe.com/indesign/kb/thin-white-dark-lines-stitching.html>.

  • Colorprints from LR show thin black lines at regular intervals | HP 8620.

    Colorprints form LR show thin black lines ar regular intervals, I work with HP 8620 and the problem is not the printer because when I print the same image from Windos Photo Viewer the problem does not occur. However, I prefer to print from LR... See the attached images, one with blakck lines from LR and one without from WPV...
    What to do? I tried to reinstall Lightroom 4.4 for maybe it has to do with the drivers. The thing is: I looked up all the regular problems and Q&A, but this is a unique problem. I do not want to keep printing from Windows Photot Viewer because LR gives me so many more opportunities for printing. But so far it coested me a lot of ink and paper and tyhe problems stays....
    I would sure appreciate help from somebody,

    It's clearly not impossible, just different than you expect. Create your playlist as you want it to appear in the Current tab (meaning don't dump every single song from your library in there, just the ones you want) and then save the playlist.

  • Printing to Canon S9000 Issue - Black Lines - Mac

    All,
    Having some issues (assume Driver) with printing from LR 2.3 and CS3 going to Canon S9000. Printing from Preview is fine. However iPhoto shows the same thing. I am getting evenly spaced (about 5mm apart) thin black lines when printing. It is consistent across different papers, including Canon Photo Paper Pro. I called Canon yesterday, and the fact that Preview works fine would seem to indicate something with the driver and Adobe and iPhoto. I'm not talking a microbanding. These are very distinct black lines. I've tried letting the printer manage the color, I've also tried using profile with the printer. I am using the most current BJ driver from the Canon site for the Mac (Leopard) and the printer.
    Images from QImage on my Windows machine are also fine to the printer with I have it hooked up there.. Could use some help in debugging (hopefully without using up all the ink) :-)
    Also getting occasional random "LR unexpected termination" message after printing.. One time happens, another doesn't.. No rhyme or reason I can see.
    Update: Unexpected Termination seems to happen more often when stacking up a few prints in the print queue.
    Jay S.

    Even worse...
    we have three machines updated today and the exact same problem on each of them:
    Indesign CS3, Acrobat 8
    Printing to Distillers Virtual Printer.
    Previously Pages were PDF-ed in the format they had.
    Now they are NOT - they all are on A4. The PDF-Options of Apple mess up the PDF-Options of Indesign. Apples PDF-Options do no longer ignore the pagesize, but overwrite the Indesign-Options.
    This is a MAJOR bug for us, as any output into high-res-PDF for printing doesn't work via export, but via Printing to Distiller. This is a big big sucky thing, which Adobe or Apple will hopefully fix soon.

  • HP Laserjet Pro MFP M12fn, printing a solid black line on every paper

    I'm running windows 7 professional. I haven't received any error messages and nothing out of the oridarny has happened. My printer/scanner/fax/copy (My HP Laserjet Pro MFP M12fn, product # CZ181A) is printing with a black line down the entire paper, but its only doing it thru the feeder and not on the glass. HELP, How can I fix this? 

    Welcome to the HP Forums angelinaOO7,
    I read your post, which indicates that you are getting a black line down the page when using the feeder. You can print fine from the glass. I can help you with this.
    I would do a hard reset to see if that will resolve the issue.
    Leave the printer on and unplug the power cable from the printer and wall outlet for 60 seconds.
    Then reconnect the power cable to the printer and wall outlet rather than a surge protector.
    This ensures the printer is receiving full power and may help this situation.
    Clean the scanning glass and platen.
    Turn the printer off.
    Disconnect the power cord from the product and the wall outlet.
    Open the scanner lid.
    Clean the following scanner areas with a soft cloth or sponge that has been moistened with nonabrasive glass cleaner.
    Main scanner glass.
    Small scanner glass to the left of the main scanner glass.
    White plastic backing.
    Dry the glass and white plastic backing with a chamois or a cellulose sponge to prevent spotting.
    Plug the power cord into the product and the wall outlet.
    Turn the printer on.
    Try to make another copy.
    If you are still having issues, then update the printer's firmware.

    If you need further assistance, let me know.
    Have a wonderful day!

  • HP 3800 Color LJ Prints 2 black lines. Pic Included

    Hi,
    I have a HP Color LaserJet 3800. Since last summer it has been printing 2 black horizontal lines across every page. They are always in the same spot, so I'm thinking it is just something that needs to get cleaned and have ruled out the cartridges. (They have all been replaced multiple times since the issue first started). This happends with and without using the duplexer.
    I took out the fuser? I think that's what it's called from under the front cover (It was really hot) and cleaned it with a moist papertowl, but that did not make any difference.
    Any suggestions on what to clean or where the parts are located? I'm a noob when it comes to working on printers, so a step by step/diagram/pictures will be the best way to explain,
    Here is a picture of what the pages look like, I have circled the black lines:

    Scratch that, I looked at the manual and found how to open a part to fix a paper jam. There were two rollers in there that fit perfectly with the lines. I cleaned them up and now no more black lines.
    Fyi, to get at the rollers I had to open the front of the printer, then on the bottom of the inside are 2 green tabs. I pressed them and lifted up the plastic piece to reveal these rollers.

  • Why do black lines appear to invisible frames when I print from a pdf and how do I stop it?

    Xerox 7346 Print Drivers
    The very first one is the Mac version you want. READ THE INSTRUCTIONS about closing print set up window.
    If you're on a PC, just scroll down to your OS (it's the box to the top left that starts with MAC OS and then lists all the PC drivers) and only the relevant drivers will appear. Most recent topmost down to oldest.
    You're a star...

  • Officejet 6310 prints solid black line instead of text.

    Good day. My officejet 6310 has started printing a 3/8" solid black line instead of text. I've replaced both color and black cartridges. I've also run align and clean cartridges. Does anyone have helpful suggestions?

    This type of result is often due to errors in the HP printer drivers. Several things can be tried. Sometimes, using a tested driver for an older, but compatible printer will do the job. A lot of folks used the use the HPLJ2 driver even with HPLJ3 and 4 systems. Another option is to try to print as a graphic. At this point, I can only suggest playing around with things. A lot of folks like the graphic driver aspect instead.
    You might also consider printing to the printer in a PS mode rather than PCL if that option is available.
    I am only suggesting things I have seen tried by various folks. I don't have a good explanation.

  • Printing from InDesign - black lines

    Good afternoon all,
    I've started using InDesign CS6 at work to produce advertising catalogues. I've hit a bit of a wall when I print it and would like a bit of help to try and solve my issue(s).
    I have a booklet set up to print 4 pages of A4 on to double-sided A3. I printed my latest proof from InDesign this morning (just to A4)and it looked OK. I then tested it using the glossy paper we have just got today and this is when I noticed some thin black lines on the A3 print.
    To help give an idea of what I'm working with, it is a catalogue/brochure with 6 or 7 product images per page, each with a price point graphic (a circle with the price in a text frame within). The price point overlaps the product image by varying degrees.
    I've just checked again and the thin black lines are all on the left-hand edge of objects - both product images and price point images. I acquired the images from the DLibrary and the price point graphics came from a previous designer.
    The black lines do not appear on every product image, neither do they appear on every price point. They are not all the same size (height) as the frame that they are on, if that makes sense. For instance, I have an image of a pack of coffee, and the black line starts at the top of the left-hand side and finishes about halfway down. The price point for the coffee has a black line all the way down the left-hand edge.
    I have printed the catalogue to A4, it was 100% fine. I print to A3 and these lines appear. I know I could export to pdf and print from there, but that then leaves the centre spread with a white stripe down the middle and I don't have the tools or the knowledge to get rid of the borders that appear in Adobe Reader.
    I've looked in the settings and can't find anything that looks like it will help. Any advice gratefully received.

    Thanks for the tip Mikey - however the same thing happens with the thin black lines when I print on 'normal' A3 paper too. On normal A4 paper it's fine, no lines, but when I print to A3 I get the lines - on both kinds of paper.
    I've attached a couple of (awful-looking) scans to help illustrate my point.

  • IPhone 5 Battery stays at the same percentage, phone fades shows white and black lines then dies. Now phone screen is shaking and does the same thing.

    My iPhone 5 which has been working fine has only today started to get these problems. The phones battery percentage stays at the same number and only changes if i swith it off or when it does it byitself but then stays at that number. When I use it it constantly turns off by slowly fading then showing white and black lines then going off. The screen is now shaking and keeps turning off. It was on IOS 6 which I just updated as I thought this could be the issue but it still does the same thing on IOS 7. Has anyone else experienced these problems or know what is wrong with my iPhone?
    Please reply!

    Sounds like the device is failing. Since you updated to iOS 7, that would do the same as a restore. I would make an appointment at the Genius Bar at Apple to have the device checked.

  • Unnecessary black lines being printed in the printed document

    I have an year old HP M1136 Laser jet printer ( Serial No. - CND8B9QJ65 ) and use orignal HP cartridges.
    And I use Windows 7 ultimate (32-bit) as my operating system. 
    I guess, The problem isn't regarding the software. It might have something to do with hardware.
    The issue is whenever I give the print command to printer, it prints the document as it is but also adds a bunch of blurred black lines on the left side of the printed A4 sheet. This thing ruins the whole look of the document.
    Nothing like this happens when Scan command is given. Its only when the printer receives a Print or Photocopy command.
    This problem started appearing in the month of  February. At the start I adjusted but now the problem has got bigger. Please help.
    An earliest response in this reagrd would be highly grateful.

    What is the resolution of the picture that you are trying to print?
    Go to Image>resize>image size, read the resolution in px/in, then report back, please.
    Also, are you in a position to try printing with another printer in an attempt to narrow this down?
