Black lines appear grey

Hi. I have a newbie question regarding the appearance of figures in Illustrator.
When I make objects such as lines and rectangles with black color, they appear grey and diffuse (especially for thin lines). I'm able to change the line color, but it's not possible to make the lines appear completely black. If I change to outline mode (Ctrl+y), the lines appear as thin black lines. I want the same appearance (for some of the objects) in preview mode as well. I also experience that when I copy figures, the copied figure appears different from the original one - the line color changes and/or becomes thicker than the original. As far as I can see, the settings are identical for both objects. Is there something I can do about this? I appereciate any help.
SN

Thanks! I don't think I have changed the default settings. My  settings are:
- Show all blacks as rich black
-  Emulate Adobe Illustrator 6.0
I don't have other issues  with my monitor, and the lines show fine in outline mode. However, I  have discovered that the lines appear black if I zoom in. But I still  don't understand why identical objects look so different.

  • When I print a 4x6 color picture using an iMac with the latest operating system using a Canon MX892 printer, faint black lines appear every 3/16 of an inch. When I print the same picture using iPhoto there is no problem.

    When I print a 4x6 color picture using an iMac with the latest operating system using a Canon MX892 printer, faint black lines appear every 3/16 of an inch. When I print the same picture using iPhoto there is no problem. Any suggestions?

    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?

  • Black line appearing when using Magic Bullet

    I have installed the latest Magic Bullet suite and it all works fine within Premiere, except when I apply a Look. In the Looks Builder the image looks fine. However, when I go back to Premiere a black line appears on the left hand side of the image. In the Effects Control if I click on 'Motion' or the effect itself, 'Looks', then the black line disappears, but it then reappears when I click off or try and render the image. It is unclear whether the error is in Premiere or with Magic Bullet. I am working with HDV widescreen footage. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    Make sure that the properties for LooksBuilder.exe are set to run in Windows XP (Service Pack 2) compatibility mode. It may help. If not, provide a lot more details and start with the 16 questions at the end of the included Wiki link:

    When using both my OJPro 8000 and my wife's OJPro8500, thin black lines appear every 7/8" on the paper when using photo paper.  This does not happen if I print on regular bond paper.

    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.

  • Thin black line appears when applying transition to material

    Im editing in PremProCC and have a problem with the video transitions especially the wipe effect. When I apply the wipe to a cropped jpg and play it back a thin black line seems to appear around the edges of the jpg. I thought it might have something to do with rendering but the render bar reminds yellow when I apply the effect. It also in the exported version too. Any help I've never seen this before?

    Hope you can see the thin black line  its more noticeable when it's playing back. Its just after the Bes/sy letters on the left had screen.

  • Black lines appearing around windows and on screen in Pro 9.3.1

    I have just installed the update for Acrobat Pro 9.3.1 and now am getting random black keylines around any windows open on my Mac. It does not matter which application, they are appearing on everything. They also show up on the screen when randomly when clicking around the windows.
    I have a Mac Pro 3,1 running OS X 10.5.8. Has anyone any ideas as they are very annoying?! Thanks

    Today, 3/31/2008, we received a "patch" from Oracle/Hyperion support that consisted of 3 SQL scripts to apply to the BI+ repository. After applying the folder permissions are now able to be set along with the objects in the folders. We found we lost provisioning for MSAD groups to the reporting ans analysis applications (workspace), but not sure if this happened because of not shutting down all the services including Shared Services. Since this was a dev environment, not a problem, but in our production environment we will ensure a complete listing of the provisioning before applying. Awaiting word from support about the provisioning issue.
    There is an open bug report from a different client and apparently this is fixed in 9.5.

  • Four black lines have appeared behind cursor arrow

    While jsut about click on a bookmark 4 10mm high black lines appeared behind the cursor arrow and at the same time the computer crashed- went black with a message in 4 languages informing me to hold down power button.
    I turned it off and then back on and it started fine but the 4 little lines are still there..everywhere the cursor arrow goes! I turned it off again, popped battery out (as you do...) put it back in, started it up again and guess what? Well given I'm sitting here typing this message... yep they are still there!
    Is there a way to remove them or am I destined to have to grow used to them forever?
    As said they are 10mm high, 2/3mm apart and start with the left hand line directly behind the arrow. Very annoying little buggers too.
    Any help would be great!
    Alex

    I have just been to system preferences- universal access- mouse and trackpad- cursor size. As I increase the size of the arrow the lines get bigger too until about 3/4 then they disappear - but leaving me with an arrow that is 4 feet tall....

  • Ssrs 2008 r2 black line incorrectly being displayed

    In an existing SSRS 2008 r2 report, I just added a page header so that I can display global values in the page header like run date, run time, and page number. Within the report header, I placed all the report header data within a rectangle. Now when I run
    the report, there is a black line appearing after the report header but before the details of the report.
    I have changed all the border colors to be white and the borderstyle to none. The black solid line between last part of report header to before the detail data keeps appearing.
    Thus can you tell me how to keep this black line from end of pageheader or rectangle to before the detail data from appearing?

    Hi wendy,
    According to your description, I taken a simple test in my local environment (SSRS 2008R2). In my scenario, I insert a page header in the report, then use a rectangle to contain all the items (such as global values) within the page header after creating
    a table in the report body. While everything goes well, and there is no such a black line between page header and report body.
    As per my understanding, may be you have set the BorderColor property to Black and BorderStyle to Solid of Page header or Rectangle or Report Body. So we can double check those item properties in the report.
    If this issue still exists, could you please post the .rdl file and your dataset with sample datato us by the following E-mail address?  It is benefit for us to do further analysis.

  • Black line down middle of copies from Auto Document Feeder. Canon mx922.

    When printing copies through te Auto Document Feeder (the feeder on top) of my Canon mx922, a black line appears down the middle of the page. How do I clean the ADF/ fix this problem? Thank you.

    Hi ChrisCanon,
    The lines on copies that you are experiencing is a result of the scan glass being dirty or scratched.  The scan glass that the printer uses when scanning from the ADF is located to the left of the larger glass area (platen) when you open the cover.  It is the smaller glass strip on the left hand side of the unit.  
    Spray some glass cleaner on a paper towel and then clean the smaller glass area.  Once cleaned, try scanning from the ADF again.
