Cross ticking lines appearing on graphic linework on HP Business Inkjet 2800

Our HP Business Inkjet is printing inch wide bands of cross ticking lines on graphic linework (see image below). We have replaced the printheads, calibrated the linefeed, printheads etc. and even replaced the service station.
Come to the end of the road on what to try next to resolve this............solutions please!

They look to be in difrent directiond. try slowing it down go to best setting and se if that helps

CS6 white line appearing to left of graphic

Hello,
I have two issues with this website.
1) To the left of the header graphic a white line appears, I can't account for it. I've tried several things to compensate for it. Nothing works.
2) At the top left there is an undocked portion of the background, I can't account for this either. Again, I have reviewed line by line and I have tried several fixes. Nothing even touches it. (In the event this information is useful, when in the developer side, I click on that line and get a flashing text type cursor. )
I have researched youtube and various forums also, looking for a fix or answer. I am thinking this might be a bug. Anyone have an answer? a fix?
I threw some pages up (still building the pages) so you can see what I am writing about.

Its part of your image - you have a thin white line running all the way around it:

That's also due to the thin white line running all the way around that image:

Red line appearing along one border of a graphic (from Word)

Using: Acrobat 6.0 Professional (yes, I know it is downrev).
Source: MS Word 2003 for Windows.
Problem: A red line appears in the PDF that looks to be the invisible (right hand) border of a graphic that looks fine in Word. This occurs only on one of many graphics. We have tried converting the original image to PNG, TIFF and JPEG and all formats produce the same result. We have tried both printing to PDF and using the Distiller button that is in the Word interface. The problem persists.
Has anyone else ever seen this?

Just to clarify, in this particular case I get a white box, not gray. But I imagine it is the same thing -- an empty box. Also, I would like to mention at the top that I greatly appreciate your input and explanation, Aandi. Thank you. I have more questions, though!

Out of curiosity, which format does the EPS preview supply to Word? Word does understand TIFF, JPG, PNG, WMF and BMP (among others). You say that Word "ignores" this, but that sounds intentional. Rather, it is a format that Word doesn't understand or doesn't have the routine necessary to decode and display the preview. Any clue why? Not critical, but I'd like to understand the mechanics a bit more.

A preamble, then. Some information embedded at the head of each EPS file?
> These aren't drawing instructions, but definitions.
Definitions that define the parameters of the typeface, font, line weight etc. needed to create the drawing?

That is a LOT of instructions. A typical page of ASCII text takes up approximately 4KB of space. 1,275KB seems like an awful lot of instructions for a graph with only 20 words or so and perhaps 100 lines for cartesian coordinates. A "bitmapped" file of the same drawing takes up only a fraction of that, even uncompressed (TIFF or BMP for example, with JPG or PNG taking up far less than that, perhaps only 15 to 35KB in this case).
> When a PDF is made you are left with nothing
> but the drawing instructions.
I'm not arguing, just failing to understand the mechanics. Of course, I had two gigantic books on PostScript on my desk ten years ago and I never did read most of them...
Again, I thank you for your time and discussion, Aandi. Always helpful as usual, though I'm not sure I'd be comfortable trying to convey your description of the EPS-to-PDF process to others. If they asked a question, I'd be stuck!

Why are white lines appearing in images in PDF files but not the original InDesign files?

Hi folks!
Let me just start out by saying that I'm not a graphic designer and have basically no experience with graphic design programs, aside from the little futzing around I've tried to do with InDesign. My company (which publishes a monthly magazine) has decided that it would be a great idea to get the files to our magazine from the graphic design firm that actually handles the production end of things so that we may offer back articles, etc., and modify them as needed. Somehow I've gotten assigned the task of handling this. However, I've encountered some problems along the way. The graphic design firm uses Quark, we own InDesign (CS3) and use Markzware to convert the files. Most things seem to work okay in this arrangement but I'm having problems with the images in the file when I create PDFs. Although the images look fine in the InDesign files (and are of print quality), when I create PDFs of some files, thin white lines appear over the images in the PDF document. I asked our graphic designer about this but she has no idea, and she isn't very familiar with InDesign.
So, my question is, where are these lines coming from and how do I stop them from appearing? As a reminder, I'm not a graphic designer and am fdairly ignorant in design software terminology. If you're kind enough to try to help me with this problem, I'm going to require an explanation in plain English. Basically explain it to me like you would to a 10 year old.
If anyone can help, I'd greatly appreciate it!
Thanks in advance,
Lynn

I think Bob was typing too fast and meant to ask if you were distilling, not to tell you distill.
Distilled PDF (you get distilled by printing to PDF rather than exporting) always flattens transparency, which is what makes those white "stitching" lines.
You can make the stitching disappear on screen by turning off smoothing in the Acrobat prefs, and it shouldn't print on a press, but it sounds like you may be doing the output on a digital machine and it's likely to show on the lower resolution output.

Lines appear around transparent objects!

Hello,
I think my previous post on this topic was lost somewhere in the adobe forums machine, so please excuse my repost.
I've noticed that exporting layouts from InDesign CS3 that contain transparent graphics causes the resulting PDF to show DARK LINES AROUND the transparent objects (at the transparent border). I've been using all compatibilities (1.3--1.7), and found that the lines appear on any PDF set to 1.4 or above. (1.3 doesn't have the lines, but it shows stitching lines (white lines) around the entire transparent frame box, so it's unusable.)
If I zoom in and out with the reader, I see the lines come and go, but don't want users to see a poorly rendered PDF at ANY zoom level.
How can I create a professional looking PDF without lines at the transparent borders?
thanks,
JP

Thanks for the reply. That thread was helpful in showing some of the effects that I'm seeing (e.g., turning off "image smoothing" in the Acrobat preferences helps). However, I'm still interested in producing a clean looking PDF that doesn't contain dark pixels all around the edges of the transparent images.
To show what I'm talking about, I've posted a picture of screen captures with explanations at: http://www.viveredesign.com/images/example3.jpg
This effect only appears when I export a PDF with the Compatibility set to anything above "Acrobat 4 (PDF 1.3)" (so it only looks good with the oldest item in the list).
If anyone has a suggestion on how to create a PDF without this effect, please let me know. I know I can always just put the blend in to the original image, but that seems so 1990's ;)
thanks,
JP

White lines on transparancy graphics in Illustrator

Hi Guys
I don't quite know how to explain this but I just bought a vector on a renowned vector stock website.
When I opened it, I noticed that there was this pop-up showing up:
I clicked YES and the file opened.
This is what it looks like in "Preview"
You see the white lines near to the "glows" applied on the green elements?
I also noticed these:
See the fine - - - lines under <Path> ?
Does anyone know how to fix this because even when saving to PDF etc. the white lines on the graphics appear
Many thanks!
Bob

Hi,
I found out that the white underlining dotted line in the layers name disappears when I do "Flatten Transparency".
About the white lines around the glows etc.: only possible option to remove them was to "Flatten Transparency"...
I noticed that the glowing layers were "Opacity Masked", maybe that is the reason why it didn't show as it should with white lines?
Another question: The glows had Transparency Masks applied to them, but when I wanted to do sth with the opacity mask, I noticed that the mask itself was set next to the artboard? Does anyone know why they made it like this?
And what about the symbols? How can I solve that?
Many thanks!
Bob

Lines appear when zoomed in

These lines appear around the cursor when I use CTRL+scroll-up to zoom in. Is this a known issue with snow leopard or should I see a Apple genius?

This "smudging" problem was something I experienced when running 10.5, however 10.6 has fixed it for me. Are you fully up to date in software update? Going to Apple > About this Macintosh > More info > Graphics/Displays, what is your chipset model?

Problem w/lines appearing on displays

Need a little help. Basically all the sudden these slanted vertical lines stating appearing all over my dual display setup. They go away if I move a window pane over them or try to grab them with the mouse. Even sometimes when I do drag a window pane the lines appear worse, and the graphics that makeup a window pane become jagged. If I click around the messed up graphics it gets fixed. Is this a video card problem? The fan is working on my graphics card. I don't think it's the displays, more of a software related issue it seems. But wanted to check 1st.

The US Military has developed a very sophisticated model of failures of electronic equipment. But if you are not using just-invented products and launching them into space, the main factors that dominate predicted failure rates are:
• Number of transistors
• chip junction temperature
Display cards have huge numbers of transistors due to the complexity of their processors and the enormous amount of fast memory. They also run fast, which means they run HOT. They would be predicted to fail very frequently.
Yet posters here very seldom post problems that are resolved with, "looks like a bad display card". To me this says either:
• They don't fail as often as we expect. \[In which case, kudos to the card designers for robust designs and good cooling!]
• When they fail, the problem is so obvious that the complaints never make it to postings here -- they are replaced without any need for additional debugging.

I suddenly get Ghost lines appear across my while using Clone or History tool about every 4th click!

While I'm using the Clone or History tool suddenly a straight line appears across my picture I'm working on. It's the width of the diamiter of the tip size I'm using at the time. It pops up from anywhere on the work space and connects to my curser where ever I happen to be on my next stroke when I click again. to get rid of it I need to "un do" enough to make it dalete but if working quickly I've lost some work and thus need to redo it. VERY non-productive!! Help!

Could you also give some information about your computer? You could post part of your system information (and REMOVE YOUR SERIAL NUMBER).
Usually, making sure that you installed the latest updates for Photoshop, the Operating System and Graphic card drivers fixes most issues.

Lines appear where svg and other backgrounds overlap

I am preparing PDFs via XSL-FO, using RenderX. One construct in the PDF is produced from an SVG graphic that is placed side-by-side with a table cell. Both the SVG and the table cell have identical background shading. In Acrobat Reader X and Acrobat Pro 9.0, at 200% zoom or smaller, small horizontal and vertical lines appear where the SVG and cell backgrounds adjoin; at larger magnifications, these lines do not appear.
Why do these lines appear, and can anyone suggest how to prevent them from appearing?
Thank you,
David Kelly

You could poll some web developer types on the unofficial forum here: [http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewforum.php?f=25 mozillaZine Web Development board]. (Separate forum, separate registration.) They likely will want a test case to play with.

Combine files leaves line around inserted graphic

I create documents in Word and insert my signature as graphic before converting to acrobat 9. I have discovered that while that looks fine, when I combine that document with another document a vertical line appears to the right of my graphic of the signature (which to me mars the signed look). I have a verisign id and can certify the adobe file and include a graphic of my signature that way but I prefer to generally just include my signature from Word. Any idea why I am getting the line after combining files (or more importantly, if it is easy to get rid of that line!)? Thanks -- Scott

I inserted a graphic of my signature in Word - the graphic is in a .png
format. It looks fine in Word and it looks fine when I convert it to a PDF.
The vertical line to the right of the graphic appears when I combine the PDF
of my report with a PDF of another page (a request for services) into one
PDF file (binder, not portfolio). Thanks for your help, it baffles me and I
typically make a couple of files to send electronically per day! -- Scott

Satellite M65-S9063 - Vertical white lines appearing down the screen!

Hi all - any ideas...
Model M65-S9063 Approximately 3 weeks ago a vertical white line appeared down the screen, it's around a mil thick.
Then yesterday a second one has appeared, slightly thinner this time. They're always there even after a reboot! It doesn't look as though any video is being displayed as they're always white. I was wondering graphics card perhaps? Or maybe the LCD itself?
Anyone seen this before??
Many thanks,

Hi!
You can simply determine the reason of this issue. Connect an external monitor the notebook and see what happens.
If you can notice the same error on the external screen, its a problem of the graphic card or display driver. If you dont have this issue on the external screen, you should go to an authorized service provider for exchanging the internal screen.
If you use a non Toshiba display driver you should remove it and test it with original Toshiba drivers.
I hope I could help you a little bit.
Bye

Light and dark solid grey vertical lines appear randomly on screen

This has happened about 4 times in the last couple of months, when these light and dark solid grey lines appear on my screen, I have to turn my computer off by holding down the power button and rebooting it, it fixes the problem for the time being. These lines appear randomly, they have appeared when using Photoshop CS6, also when just using the internet, listening to Pandora. 1 out of the 4 times these lines appeared, there was a ticking/clicking noise... I took it to the local computer shop and they did tests on it twice and found nothing.

Thin vertical lines appearing on screen, since wakeup from sleep mode.

My Mac G5, 2GHz, DVD-R, 1GB DDR RAM, OSX 10.4.10, ATI RADEON X800 XT has recently developed a display issue. On start-up the screen shows vertical lines across the entire screen. The colors of theses lines is varying from green to black, depending of the background color. The lines are appearing from the grey loading screen and when a profile is logged in.
Shutting down and restarting doesn't cure the problem, nor does staring in safe mode nor starting up from an install CD. I also tried re-installing the operating system, but I get the same result. I tried another monitor but I also get the lines on screen. I verified all the cables and that the graphic card is well in place in the pci slot.
If I change the resolution, I also get thoses lines but they change place on screen. Also, if I set the colors level to 256 colors, I get very little single lines but If I set the color level to the highest (36,7 Millions), the lines appears in group of 5+ and are all over the screen.
I tried taking a screenshot using the shortcut cmd-shift-3 and I can see the line in the pictures. Also, if I take a screenshot of a window that is behind the window in the front ( using cmd-shift-4-space ), I dont see the line on the screen shot.
I started to have this problem when my mac was woke up from sleep mode and the problem has persisted since then.
I guess my problem is the graphic card but I would like an external opinion before I got buy another one.
Thanks

Any new results?
I'm having the same issue. Looks like this, but at a slight angle and different RGB colors (almost like JPG artifacting).
Started this evening after a cold boot. I just put my X800 XT Mac G5 edition in 2 weeks ago. No real heavy use either, as I've been gone for a week.
Looks to me like bad VRAM (according to TechTool Deluxe). I'm running the AHT now and will hopefully come to a final conclusion soon. I did test my 20" Apple monitor (DVI) with my laptop and there was no problem...so it is definitely the video card. Not sure if the aforementioned ATI ROM extender will fix it or not.
Much luck to all of us who are having this problem.

The music stopped and all the pictures were scrambled lines all the graphic

hi all, Happy New Year

Hi jolly34-
This same thing happened to me yesterday, on the 6th. Very annoying.
I reset it, and it did not help. So I plugged it in, and "restored" it to original settings, re synced it, and now it appears to be working again.
Not sure if that helps or not.
