Problem printing line pattern at diagonal

Hello there. I'm having a problem printing a pattern fill that is stripes, then rotated so it is diagonal. It looks fine in illustrator but when it prints it comes out choppy/pixelated. I've attached a scan of the print to show you what I mean.
Also, when printing small dashed lines they dont come out clean, some are missing or connected and it just looks strange....
Please help! thanks!

The illustration printed fine as a pdf, but thats kind of a biotch though!

  • Problems printing lines Acrobat 9 pro

    I am trying to print some government forms that are generated by an Access 97 program ( I know old and I should get user off) But when we generated the forms in Acrobat 8 std all worked well.  Moved to Acrobat 9 pro and now lines are being dropped.  Form is NAFTA Certidicate of Origin and complex.

    How are you creating the pdfs? If you are indeed printing to pdf, what joboptions file are you using now? What were you using before?

  • How to create diagonal variable line pattern in CS6?

    Hi guys
    I'm on the brink of insanity with creating my diagonal line pattern. I've tried everything I can think of but the pattern is an absolute mess! I want to create a diagonal line pattern but I want the lines not to be uniform. Basically I've made a group of 3 lines and then one separate line on its own, then to repeat this as the picture below. I've used the distribute function so the distances between the lines is identical everywhere. I've then rotated the whole thing exactly 45 degrees and aligned the lines to fit the bounding box in the "make pattern" mode as shown. Yet the resulting pattern is just a mess of overlap ugliness. All I want is for the pattern to literally look as it does in the image on the left, can someone please tell me how to sucessfully do this in CS6?? Would be eternally grateful!!
    Desired pattern:               Result:

    Never create a line pattern at an angle. It's unnecessary.
    Create the pattern at 90° angles then use Object > Transform > Rotate and tick the "Transform Patterns" option and enter the angle you are after....
    Trying to get angled lines to match in a pattern can take considerable effort. Where as with this method you can create the pattern and rotate it in a matter of minutes. Let Illustrator work for you rather than against you. And, you can rotate to any angle so the pattern will function in multiple ways.

  • Problem printing patterns with Adobe Reader 9

    Hello all
    We have a mix environment of Windows 7/Vista with Adobe Reader 9.2 and Windows XP/2k with Adobe Reader 8.1.7. Documents including charts with patterns created with the option Save as PDF from Word 2007(SP2) look and print fine with Adobe Reader 8, but the same documents look and print the patterns a lot more compressed with Adobe Reader 9. All computers print to the same printers with the same print drivers (a windows print server). Attached is a sample PDF file. I've installed Adobe Reader 9.2 also on Win2k and WinXP computers with the same results, so the problem doesn't come from the OS.
    Any idea on what's wrong with Adobe Reader 9? Is it a configuration problem or defaults changed in Adobe Reader 9?
    Thanks in advance.

    You need to use Adobe Acrobat; Adobe Reader does not support editing.

    How is the C6200 connected to the iMac, is it via USB or Wi-Fi? If it's via Wi-Fi please make sure it's connected to the router using the printer's Network Wizard. Then click System Preferences - Print & Scan and assuming the iMac is on the same network as the printer, if it is the printer should be seen. If it's not then click the + sign and add the printer.

  • Quality problem printing in Windows 8.1 with CP1215

    Recently purchased new laptop with Windows 8.1 Pro.  I have had my printer for years, CP1215, via USB, without having any problems printing to it with Windows 7 Pro. I first noticed that the quality of print I receive out of my printer on the new laptop is darker.  The darkness comes from black lines going diagonally across the page.  I would estimate at approximately a 2 degree angle.  I would also estimate that the lines appear every 4th pixel row.  I have attached 2 images, printed on 2 different printers.  The one on the top is the one off of my CP1215, the one on the bottom is a color copier in my office.  I have zoomed in incredibly on the prints to show the lines.  Just never had problems with this printer in pre Windows 8.1 days.  Tried installing ljcP1215-HB-pnp-win64-en.  Tried uninstalling printer, rebooting, then installing, still same problem.  I also have another problem with printing, but suspect it is more of a Microsoft problem.  My laptop thinks a network printer goes offline, stopping and restarting the print spooler service seems to fix that.  I had to make a .bat file on my desktop to do it, it happens at least 2 times in an 8 hr work day.                        

    Hi paulie99, Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! I understand the printer isn't printing properly from Windows 8.I will be happy to help you. Check your printer driver settings. 1. On the File menu in the software program, click Print.2. Select the driver, and then click Properties or Preferences.3. Click the Paper/Quality tab.4. In the Type is or Size is list box, select the correct media type or size. Set the quality to ImageREt 2400. I have provided a document to install the Windows print driver to see if that makes a difference.Installing the Printer Software in Windows 8.1 for a USB or Network Connection. For the network printer I would setup a static IP address. Please let me know the results if you are still having issues. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums.Have a great weekend! 

  • Possible solution for problems printing with ICC profiles - esp. R2400

    (N.B. This is long because I've decided to go in to details about the background of the problem etc.. Also note that whilst my experience is with the Epson R2400, anyone with problems printing using ICC profiles in Aperture may find this post helpful, as will be explained further down the post.)
    Ok, here's the situation. I've been an Aperture user for over a year, and an R2400 owner for half a year. In that time I have done a huge amount of experimenting, but I've never managed to get Aperture to work perfectly with Epson's 'premium' R2400 ICC profiles - the ones you can download from their site which are better than the ones provided 'in the box'. This hasn't been too big a deal because, in fact, the R2400 does a rather good job just set to 'System Managed' in Aperture and 'Epson Vivid' with a gamma of 1.8 in the printer driver. Nevertheless, it really annoyed me that something that should work wasn't, which is why I've spent a lot of time trying to figure out what's going on. Having said that, I have come across a method which will give you pretty good prints out of your Epson R2400 using the premium profiles in Aperture - it's not perfect, but it's the best you're going to get if you want to use those profiles in Aperture. I understand the words 'it's not perfect' aren't what photography experts would probably want to hear, however, I have seen a few anguished posts from R2400 owners in here before, so I think some people may find it useful.
    The whole reason why Aperture is hopeless at using the R2400's premium profiles is because - unusually - their default rendering intent is set to 'relative colorimetric' rather than 'perceptual'. You might say 'but that's good - it means you get more accurate colours!', and if you do, you're right... however, there's a snag. To get an image to reproduce well using Epson's premium profiles and relative colorimetric rendering, you really need to use black point compensation. This is where the trouble lies: Aperture's black point compensation is diabolical to the point of being unusable when used with relative colorimetric rendering - I feel I need to be awarded compensation every time I've ever tempted to use the setting. So because BPC in Aperture is unusable, that effectively makes the premium profiles unusable too, because Aperture always uses the default rendering intent specified in the profile.
    The solution? Use perceptual rendering instead. Ok, so you can't change the rendering intent in Aperture, which makes that sound a tad difficult. However, as I said in the above paragraph, Aperture always obeys the default rendering intent specified in the profile... so you can see where we're going with this: we need to change the ICC profiles' default rendering intent from 'relative colorimetric' to 'perceptual'. I did some digging around and found one or two expensive pieces of software that could do that... but then I found that, lo and behold, the Mac OS has a command-line utility which can do the job for us, for precisely £0.00. It's called SIPS or 'Scriptable Image Processing System', and you can find out some information about it here: http://developer.apple.com/technotes/tn/tn2035.html#TNTAG58 For those who don't like reading technical jargon however, here's what you need to do to convert a profile's rendering intent. First go to terminal, then type in the following command:
    sips -s renderingIntent perceptual
    Do not press 'enter' yet. Instead, add a space after 'perceptual', find the ICC profile you want to modify, and click and drag it into the terminal window. You should then find that your command looks something like this:
    sips -s renderingIntent perceptual /Users/yourname/folder/RandomProfile.ICC
    At which point you can then press 'enter', and the command will execute, giving you an ICC profile which will now make Aperture use perceptual rendering.
    There is just one further thing to be aware of after doing this: for some crazy reason, you then need to turn on BPC in Aperture for the prints to come out as good as possible. Black point compensation shouldn't make any difference when using perceptual rendering as the idea of perceptual is that it takes account of things like that anyway, however, in Aperture BPC does make a difference, so remember to turn it on to get a half decent print. In general, I find that prints made using this setup come out pretty well; they almost perfectly match prints made using the profiles with a perceptual intent in Photoshop Elements, except for the fact that Aperture blocks up the shadows a bit more than Photoshop. However, if you can live with that, you might find this is quite a workable solution.
    Now, I said near the beginning of this post that all the above can apply to other printers too. Most printer profiles have 'perceptual' set as their default rendering intent, in which case everything I've just said won't be of much help. However, If you are reading this because you're having problems with ICC profiles in Aperture, but you don't use an Epson R2400, find your problematic ICC profile, double-click on it, and take a look at the window that opens: specifically, at the 'Rendering Intent' the window mentions. If it doesn't say 'Perceptual' then it may well be worth trying the steps I've outlined in this post to set it to perceptual, to see if doing so produces an improvement when using the profile in Aperture.
    Finally, just one note of caution: if you decide to try out the steps I've detailed above on a paid-for custom-made profile, please back your profile up before messing with it. I haven't experienced any problems when using SIPS to change a profile's rendering intent, but I obviously can't guarantee that it won't do something weird and corrupt your expensive custom-made profile.
    If you have any questions, feel free to ask, although (contrary to any impression I may give) I am not a colour-management expert; I'm just someone who doesn't give up when they have a problem that should be solvable.

  • Problems printing a digitally signed PDF

    Hi
    I'm having problems printing a digitally signed PDF on a dell 968 AIO printer. It works fine on the a majority of printers but we have had reports of issues with other models as well as the dell printer.
    The PDF prints fine when opened in Adobe Reader 9 (blue bar appears at top to indicate signed pdf).
    When opened in Adobe Acrobat 7 on the same PC the first pages prints correctly but the rest of the pages print only a few lines in a huge font and the characters are backwards.
    The pdf does not always open in reader when accessed through the web it will sometimes open with acrobat is there anyway to control this?
    Does anyone know why this maybe happening?
    Thanks
    Claire

    Thanks for the reply Mike. I think I've got a little further with this problem now. There seems to be a problem printing the signed PDF in adobe reader 7 as well as acrobat 7.
    I have uninstalled acrobat from the machine but the problem still happens with reader 7.
    Does anyone know if reader 7 and below has any known issues printing signed pdf's. It works fine on 8 and above.
    thanks

  • Problems printing after OS X 10.5.6 Upgrade

    Hope someone has an answer for me.  On Friday I finally upgraded my office Intel iMac to 10.5.6 (upgraded from Tiger), running the CS3 Suite.  We print primarily on a 6 year old Phaser 7700 and had no problems printing until today.  Now when printing in any program in the suite, mainly Illustrator,  we get what appears to be a postscript error.  We will try to print tabloid size and all that prints out is letter size paper and only one line of odd characters on multiple pages.  We have gotten simple graphics on letter size to print through Illustrator, but there is no rhyme or reason why they go through and other's don't.  Illustrator is running in Rosetta, and many of the work arounds I have found are not working for me.  Unfortunately upgrading our printer at this time is not an option, so I hope someone knows of a fix for this.  All other programs on system print with no issues, it appears to be only with Adobe suite.
    THANKS!

    I have found many threads posting similar problems and it seems to be a postscript error dealing with raster images.  It most definitely seems to be an issue with CS3 operating under the new OS.  (not sure why??)  I am continuing to get pages and pages of garbage when trying to print out of Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign or Acrobat when there are images involved.  I can print if the the graphic contains no links or if I have embedded the links (Illustrator only).  Photoshop will not print at all.
    I have tried to change the printer's protocol to TBCP - didn't work.
    I have tried using a generic PPD - didn't work.
    I have reinstalled manf. PPDs - didn't work.
    I have changed output from binary to ASCII/85 - didn't work.
    An upgrade to CS4 is not in the company's budget right now, nor is a new printer.  Would an upgrade even work?  Any other suggestions?  Anyone?  Thanks!

  • Sorry for my ignorance but i'm having problems printing

    Hi
    I am very new to indesign and to print graphics.  I am not new to web graphics.
    I am having problems printing a document that I have created in InDesign CS5.  Now I have learnt that I need to calibrate stuff with ICC profiles but I am not sure what I am doing.
    Do i need to create aan ICC profile for my monitor and printer?
    How do I get these to worl with InDesign?
    I suppose I need to tell you what is going on.   When I print my document which is mostly different shades of grey, most of the different grey shades are nearly black and I can only just see the differentces in shades between the grays.  Now on my monitor they are distinctly different and can easily be seen.
    So what steps do I nee dto get these colours right?
    Cheers

    For good reproduction you need an accurate monitor profile (this is done with a colorimeter or spectrophotometer --that's overkill for just the monitor, but it can do the printer, too -- and profiling software) and an output profile for the printer and paper combination. The industry standard EyeOne colorimeter package is around $200, the spectrophotometer will cost quite a bit more.
    There are services that will profile your printer for you, too, but learing to do it yourself will cost less over the long haul if you are really serious about the output quality. In theory you need to recalibrate and profile printers on a regular basis, especially when you change ink or toner. Out here in the real world, though, I suspect most of us who are not producing commercial color output just do it once and live with it until the results are no longer acceptable and the profiles need to be updated. I proof for internal use on my color laser, for example, and it hasn't been re-profiled for about three years. It no longer matches waht I see on the monitor exactly, but it's still fairly close and the prints are for my own use. I always get a proof from the printer when it's time to go to press.
    Of course not all monitors and not all printers are created equal. Some monitors are incapable of showing fine gradtions in sahding in the dark or very light grays, and many, if not most, printers can't capture all of the shades you can see on screen.
    For any given printer resolution, such as a 600 dpi printer, the higher the linescreen value used to print, the lower the number of shades that can actually be produced. Halftone spots (which is what are used to fool you into seeing gray using only black ink) are made up of groups of printer dots, and you can't print half a printer dot, so, for example, 600 dpi printer outputting at 100 lines per inch linescreen, uses about 36 printer dots to make each halftone spot (it might be a little different because the shape of the halftone spot is seldom a square). The best you can get from 36 printer dots is 37 levels (no dots to all dots), so the best you can hope for is about 3% steps.
    Add in dot gain, the spread of ink or toner as it's absorbed into the paper and which is more prominent at darker shades, and your shadows tend to plug up, and the very light shades may not show at all. Less than 5% dot, for example is extremely hard to print on most lasers.
    A really good book on the subject is Real World Scanning and Halftones, and a great book on color management in general is Real World Color Management.

  • Problem printing CFChart data

    I'm having a problem printing a page with a graph generated
    by CFChart. If I render the graph as a jpg or png and attempt to
    print it using normal browser/javascript functionality
    (self.print), only an image placeholder is printed containing the
    message "Image Expired. Please refresh the page to view the
    image.". Interestingly, however, rendering the graph as a swf
    prints perfectly. The best theory I've been able to come up with is
    that if it's an image, CF generates the graph, and then deletes the
    phyical file as soon as the browser has rendered it and if it's a
    swf, it either does things differently or your browser just caches
    swf files differently.
    If I've missed something obvious somewhere along the line,
    please feel free to point out my shortcomings. If not, any advice
    would be appreciated anyway.

  • Problem printing production order.

    Hi  guys
    this is my first post. i have a problem  printing production orders.when i give a print. its printing only 2 or  3 line.what should i do to add  some more information to my production order.and where can i view the print preview of my production order.

    Hi,
    The production order can be printed in CO02 screen itself.(Ctrl+P). To define what to be printed, you need to identify/define the correct list in the transaction OPK8. Once the correct combination is selected for the required plant and order type, this can be printed in production order.
    But for the preview after printing, you can view the spools created in SP01.
    Or T code CO04N or CO04 is meant for printing production orders
    Need to do the setting in OPK8
    First check the configutaion link below and then come back.

  • 10.5.5 Update PROBLEM Printing to Xerox from inDesign

    I just updated to 10.5.5 and I'm having problems printing from inDesign to a Xerox Phaser 7760. All print outs come out distorted (stretch horizontally) I called Adobe and the work around they gave me is when I hit print, under setup [Paper Size] must be set to "Defined by Driver" not the actual paper size you want to print. That now has to be set under the [Page Setup] tab. Very annoying and inexplicable.
    The problem only occurs when I print to this specific printer from just inDesign. It doesn't happen with any other program or if I print to any other printers from inDesign.

    That solved it. For others that are interested, you need to either go to another machine that has 10.5.4 or download that image file from somewhere and do the following.
    command-shift-G in the Finder to enable you to open the hidden folder, paste /usr/libexec/cups/filter/ as the go-to line. The file your looking to replace with the old system is called pstops. I saved a backup of the 10.5.5 version before replacing it with the older 10.5.4 You will need to log in as root in order to do the replacement of the files.
    I would suggest someone try a safer and easier solution. Try installing Ghostscript. You can get a Mac OS X installer for Ghostscript at _http://www.linuxfoundation.org/en/OpenPrinting/MacOSX/foomatic_. This will leave your hidden system files intact so you don't accidently break something.
    I don't guarantee that this will work, but given the solution that Justin Lancaster posted about using Rosetta brought using Ghostscript to mind. What I think may be happening is that when using the Adobe applications under Rosetta, the applications are sending PDF or PICT with PostScript to the printing system. When running natively on Intel Macs, I believe the applications are sending PostScript to the printing system. I have seen this with Adobe Reader 8. Printing from Adobe Reader 8 on an Intel Mac sends PostScript to the printing system. If Ghostscript is present on your system, it will use Ghostscript rather than the Apple supplied pstops filter.
    I hope someone will give Ghostscript a try and report back. I don't have any of the mentioned Adobe applications to test this on. Ghostscript does come with an uninstaller, so it can easily be removed if it doesn't solve the problem or the issue with Apple's pstops filter is resolved.

  • Color Laser 2605dn Prints Lines on Pictures

    Color Laser 2605dn Prints Lines on Pictures.
    Normally all txt prints ok but I cannot get rid of the horizontal and vertical lines ( if the image prints vertical) on all images that it prints.
    I rarely use this printer.  I have gone under settings/print quality and calibrated but it does not fix the problem.
    Please help.
    Thank you.

    Looks like a high voltage power supply issue with the black only.  Since the laser/scanner on this model uses 1 motor for 2 colors that would eliminate the laser/scanner.  Repair by a repair shop may cost more than the printer.  Only suggestion I can give to is do a google search for the service manual and download it.  Look for instructions for the removal of the high voltage ps and remove it and then put it back in.  There is always the possibility one of the connectors has become loose and is causing the issue.  Good Luck.
