Problem with diagonal lines printing jagged and unclean

I am new to computer illustration and vector graphics. i am using Illustrator CS2. lines drawn using the pen tool that are slightly diagonal are printing "pixelated" or jagged. Especially bad when placed into an Indesign doc.
They appear clean onscreen in Illustrator, but don't print perfectly clean. They both display and print badly when placed in Indesign.
The graphic i am experiencing this with was drawn quite small for letterhead logo(about 50mm)with .15 pt stroke - doesn't seem like that should make any difference...?
Thanks!

Hi Scott,
"Which is it?"
Not sure what you're asking
My printer is an HP Color LaserJet3800 Post Script
I did export to from AI to PDF and that printed a little better... still not perfect.
When i opened the AI file in Acrobat there were several problems including letters of text (outlines) all different sizes.

  • Problem with command line argument files and quoted strings

    I'm trying to use the following custom tag:
    -tag com.me.Test.testTag:f:"My Test Tag"
    This works fine when sent straight to the command line, but if I put it in an argument file (@argfile) along with the rest of my command, I get the following error:
    javadoc: Illegal package name: "My Test Tag"
    Any idea why this is happening? If I use a one-word tag header and omit the quotes, javadoc runs with no problems. I'm using Sun's SDK 1.4.1.
    Thanks for your help!
    Linda Howard

    White space is treated a bit differently in an @argfile,
    to enable users to put packages or options on separate lines.
    You might try escaping the spaces:
    "My\ Test\ Tag"
    or using a non-breaking space:
    "My Test Tag"
    What operating system are you on?

  • WRT160N - problem with on-line games and downloading

    Hi,
    Several months ago I bought a WRT160N router and I have a strange problem.
    When I play online games, such as QL, and someone else will start downloading from the Internet, from time to time about 10 sec I have 999 ping
    I turned on in the background ping to the router, and from time to time about 10 sec there are 2-3 ansewers with 1900-2000 ms.
    I tought that when I buy router with N-mode everything will work better, and there will be no problems with on-line gaming.
    Is there any way to fix this problem??

    I checked now and even no one is downloading there is the same problem.
    I checked on other router and it works fine.
    Next problem is when I browse youtube and play several films simultaneously, suddenly there are no responses from router, when I close them, and wait for a moment the responses are back.
    Whether anyone had similar problem??

    Hi Vishnu,
    Above you have the following commands:
    set line spacing 6 LPI
    \e\0x32
    set page length 86 lines
    \e\0x43\0x46
    46 HEX = 70
    So the above settings mean 70 lines at 6 LPI = 11.66 inches.
    So is the paper length 11.66 inches? If not, you should adjust the settings accordingly.
    Regards,
    Aidan

  • Problem with Photoshop Elements Printing

    I have been using Photoshop Elements for a couple of years now and know it pretty well.  Today while attempting to print, a strange problem came up:  After going through the protocol to make a print, just before the image prints PE does a very fast auto correction that basically ruins all the color correction I have made on the image.  How do I disable this function?

    Hi and thanks for your reply. I checked the settings under "Print", "More Options", then "Color Management" and it only has "Print Space", none of the three options that you said I should have.  Am I looking in the wrong place?

      Check your color management by clicking More Options in the print dialog There are basically three options:1) Printer Manages Color2) Elements Manages color3) No color Management Make sure everything is consistent e.g. if you choose Elements manages color make sure color management is switched off in the print driver.

  • Cannot print due to a problem with the current printer

    Cannot print (anymore) due to a problem with the current printer is the message I get every time I try to print something out. I tried to reinstall the printer's software, I changed the cables, but nothing happened. It seems to be something related to the printer setup utility. Any big idea on how to solve this? I was printing without problems until this afternoon. I have a HP Laserjet 1022 and sometimes I use Adobe Acrobat Writer. None is currently working.
    Thanks for any help.

  • Dreamweaver Template: circle with diagonal line in editable region, but can still edit

    Since upgrading to Dreamweaver CC 2014, for only one of dozens of clients, in a Template, I get a circle with diagonal line in editable region, but I can still edit it, I just can't click to the spot that I want to edit, I have to navigate there with the up down left and right arrows on my keyboard. And, I created a new Template and it didn't happen, until I "got" a file, and now it happens in the new Template too. What's going on?

    Sorry, I'm new here. Do you mean like a screen shot? I just thought maybe somebody had seen this before and would just tell me "you need to uncheck the something or other"

  • Problem with the MVMapView.print(printMapDiv,) function.

    Hello,
    I have a problem with the MVMapView.print(printMapDiv,) function.
    My FOIs are displayed correct on the screen but on the printed letter
    the stroke(border) color and the labels of a circle are not displayed.
    the fois have a custom style:
    var xmlDef = '<svg width="1in" height="1in">'+
    '<g class="marker" '+
    'style="width:40;height:40;stroke:0xff0000;fill:0x00ff00;stroke-width:1.5">'+
    '<circle r="20"/>'+
    '</g>'+
    '</svg>';
    markerStyle = new MVXMLStyle("my_vector_icon_" + i + '_' + j, xmlDef)
    and are created like this:
    v_result = new MVFOI(p_geofeature.foiId, p_geofeature.foiGeomertyObject, markerStyle, null, 30, 30);
    v_result.setHTMLElement('1',0,0);
    Browser: I can see the map with a green circle, a red border and '1' as a label on
    top of the Circle.
    Printed Letter: I see the map with the green circle but no red border Color and no label.
    The implmentation of the printing function uses the same techique like the "Oracle Maps Tutorial"
    It is a javascript function called through a href link:
    function mapPrint()
    var a=document.getElementById("printmap");
    global_gdi.mapviewer.mapview.print(a);
    Version is Ver11_1_1_5_B110527
    Does anbody know how to print the map properly including the contents of the
    MVFOI class set trough setHTMLElement function?
    Greetings
    Andre

    Thanks for your reply but it is not working and i can prove that.
    I have a small example based on the mapviewer print tutorial. To run it you need a
    mapviewer installation and copy the text into a html file. In the browser you can see
    a green point with a red border and red label text on a map.
    If you use the print button everything except the label text will be printed.
    I think this is a mapviewer css-api bug.

  • Intermittent problem with the line

    I have an intermittent problem with my line which crackles or you miss parts of a conversation because voices spoken or listened to keep coming and going all the time or the phone cuts out altogether
    Telephone the help line which said that the line was OK at that moment as they did the other time I called keeps on happening on a daily basis every time we get a call.
    Next door neighbour and other neighbours around this close all linked to the same local bt or open reach cabinet all tell me they have the same problem.
    Neighbours called their own phone company who rent the line off of BT who got an open reach engineer out the next day and found that the local exchange or cabinet next to the house across the road from me all the phone line coverings have corroded away and that the wires are all damaged and corroding away or rotting away.
    So the local road (culdisack) has to be dug up and the exchange and wires have to be replaced from that junction box to the next junction box or exchange, what i want to know is when will this be done as all the neighbours and i have been reporting it to BT for ages but it was not till next door got their company to investigate was the problem found.
    How long till we have to wait for a repair and better lines back to a good service, Months, years. when?
    It would not be so bad but i have a lifeline connected to my phone so if i am in trouble it calls for help but with the fault with the line half the time it cannot get a single message or call out and before now i have been left on the floor for ages before someone came back home to get me off the floor as the box just said the phone line was disconected and could not get a dial tone or call out.

  • X-Fi Notebook has a problem with headset/line-in

    0X-Fi Notebook has a problem with headset/line-in` First the basics:
    -HP Pavillion dv6000
    -Intel Core 2 Duo @ .83 GHz
    -Windows Vista Home and Student (SP) 32 bit
    -3 GB RAM
    Ok, now the problem:
    -Ever since I got my Sound Blaster X-Fi card for this past christmas, I've had a problem with using the headset/lin-in port on it. Its only now that it's gotten to be a big enough irritation for me to need to fix it. I went to play some BF2 and hook up my earphone/microphone combo. The problem is, that the default recording device "Line-in" doesn't detect any sound when I have it plugged in. Further more, when I change it to "SB X-Fi micropone" it does detect my voice, but its on some kind of feedback loop, because it then transmits whatever the mic picks up onto my speakers/headphones/whatever I have plugged into it as an output. Its almost like they have the "line-in" and "microphone" functions either switched or blended into one. I did a complete reinstall of the drivers and software, but no luck. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
    Thanks guys

    Hi,
    What I mean is the microphone jack on your x-fi notebook. since you are saying you can hear yourself when you switch the recording source to microphone, I would assume that you have plugged in a microphone into your x-fi notebook. You should check if there is a microphone control on your volume mixer and whether it is unmuted if there is one. There are many sound card which allows for the microphone audio to be heard on the speaker output if the microphone source is unmuted.

  • Blank Blue Screen  with diagonal lines

    Any ideas as to what this could be?
