Strange noise appears when printing

I am running into some issues when trying to print a post card I designed for a client. I created the card in photoshop cs5 with a resolution of 300. After creating it as a psd I exported it as a pdf and then printed it through acroabt x on a xerox 700 digital press using creo rip software. The print looks ok-ish until I look at it under loop. Through the loop I can see alot of digital noise around the text. I printed it again directly from photoshop and removed a background image that was behind the text and that cleaned up some of the noise. Although the text still a little noise. Can any one think of why that might be?

thanks guys,
Peter, I'll try your suggestions. As you see, everything looks fine on screen with the PDF. These little 'boxes' appear only when I print.
"Also, make sure your transparency blend space matches your backgrounds." How do I do that?
Ken, as you may remember from my previous posts, I'm new at this so forgive my lack of knowledge. Does 'banding in the gradient' mean you are seeing horizontal lines down the image? I don't get these on my prints but the text box holding the "Cello/Celli! A Celebration of the Cello" prints with the background of the box visible against the gradient behind it. I also get a similar effects below the blue box holding the 'time & place' info. both of these elements have a drop shadow applied.
BTW, my PDF does show faint lines oulining the 'CC' logo text boxes. These don't seem to print but I want to be sure. The logo was created by grouping two text boxes and applying a transarency to them. Hey, now that I look at my print problem it seems as if these 'logo' text boxes might also be having 'compatibility' issues with the backgroung gradient?
I don't know nutin. Thanks for the help!

  • How to change annotation's appearance  when printing the annotation under Adobe Reader?

      I'm developping a plugin under SDK 7.0 for Adobe Reader  . I have two problems.
      1)I will change annotation's appearance  when printing the annotation. How to do under Adobe Reader?
        Uunder Adobe Arobat,I use PDRegisterAnnotHandler to register GetPrintAppearance,but PDRegisterAnnotHandler does not work under Adobe Reader.
      2)Under Adobe Reader ,app.execMenuItem doesnt work.How to execute menuItem using JavaScript under Adobe Reader?
    Please Help,had better give me sample,thank.

    app.execMenuItem most certainly does work with Reader - what problems are you running into trying to use it?
    As for developing Reader plug-ins - yes, some of the SDK methods aren't available to Reader.  If you want to change the appearance of an annotation in Reader, you would need to acquire the Cos object of that annotation and modify its appearance dictionary manually.

  • Strange layers issue when printing

    Hi Guys,
    I am having a strange issue which is probably easy to fix however I am not a heavy adobe user and dont know where to start.
    This is the rough process to explain my point but a summary is - when printing PDF files they do not appear as they do on screen.
    A picture/document is created in Adobe Illustrator, an outline PDF is then created and saved
    I can open the outline PDF successfully, in newer versions of PDF Reader (v8+) the PDF displays on screen correctly. In older versions the PDF is missing lines or various things.
    If I print this PDF all these lines etc still missing. I know this sounds vague but I will try and explain.
    An example is this - the document is a black box with a silver smaller box on top in the centre. On the screen it shows correctly. When I print, the black box is printed with no silver box.
    I have just discovered that the silver box is actually printed however its printed in the background so I think its got to do with layers? If I make the black box to be white, and then print I can see my silver box, so its clear it has been printed in the wrong order.
    Oh another thing I have found is the default format for saving PDF files is v1.5 if I choose an older version, the layers are printed correctly
    I have both Adobe reader installed on Mac's and PC and the issue happens on both
    Surely all the printers I have can't be all in-compatible
    Printers:
    Kyocera KM-4050
    Kyocera FSC5200
    Canon MX850
    Lanier MP2500
    Lanier MP2800

    This is not a scanning resolution factor and I have been scanning this way for years. These scans are not photos but documents. This problem just started.  And as I said before, the problem also occurs when doing a save as from Illustrator, as well as supplied files from clients, so the scanning process has nothing to do with it. I just can't get them to print right.

  • How to make a button on a form that will not appear when printed?

    Hello again!
    I have a rather strange request that I got recently from my employeer regarding a form that we are currently working on:
    We have a form with a Acrobat created button on it that links to an attachment.  She does not want the button to appear when the document is printed.
    Is this even possible??
    Thanks in advance!
    Best Regards,
    Ashley

    You can set the form field to be "Visible but doesn't print" rather than "Visible". This is far easier than the scripting solution.

  • Strange error message when printing to PDF

    I am surprised that no one else has reported this issue. Searching the net, I found only one other mention of it. Using Adobe Acrobat Professional 8.1.2, when printing a document from any application using the Adobe PDF printer, the document will print correctly; however, the printer icon with a question mark will appear in the system tray and the error message "This document failed to print" will appear. When I open the Adobe PDF printer, the document is there with the status "Error - Printing".
    I can successfully delete the document (with error), though the actual .pdf document is created just fine; it is just returning an error and holding the document after every print. I have tried deleting the Adobe PDF printer, reinstalling Acrobat (both using a repair installation as well as uninstalling and reinstalling) all with the same results.
    There is nothing being logged into the system or application logs, either. I have seen this happen with two OSs at work, Vista Home Premium and WinXP SP3. Can someone guide me to a solution?

    Well I can give you what I did to get around the problem.  I am running Adobe X pro on windows 7.
    1.  The print job in queue, cancel it so that it is deleted.  You now should have no jobs pending.
    2.  Go to Control Panel\Hardware and Sound\Devices and Printers(Win7) or just the printer and devices for your OS.  Yes this must be done with Admin privilages.
    3.  Go to Printer Properties for the Adobe PDF printer.
    4.  Select the ports tab.  Mine was on Com3.
    5.  Select Add a Port and call it Adobe Printer or something.
    6.  Select the check box and select apply.
    You should now print with no errors.

    Yes I am aware this has been a year, but this has happened over several versions.

  • Watermak draft doesn't appear when printing

    Hi everybody,
    i'm facing a printing issue with watermark draft, there is my problem: i have made a PO (production order) and i would like to print with the watermak draft on it. When i click on Print Preview i can see it (the watermark) but when i print it nothing appear.
    I read the note 1017088 but it's for business one, my configuration is the following one : SAP NetWeaver ECC6 7.0 SP12
    Can you please help me on this ?
    Thanks eveybody

    I had a similar issue where a print was coming out fine when we used from-end or did a display but when printed out of SAP the format was not right. SAP recommended us to use a different device type rather the th one provided by the vendor.
    So I will recommend try changing the device type and see if that might fix the issue.
    Thanks,

  • Strange files appearing when I save in illustrator CS2

    Hi all,
    I recently upgraded my OS to leopard and since i did this i have been having this strange problem?When I save a file in illustrator (CS2) it is also creating some kind second archive file (Acr1860018314.tmp for example) does anyone know what is causing this it is really annoying.

    When running Apples latest operating system with an older version of Adobe applications you are likely to encounter issues that there will be no fix for. Illustrator CS2 was released over a year before Apple's OS10.5 hit the streets. Adobe engineers can not predict what will or will not work in a new OS when writing an application.
    Unfortunately, the solution may be to upgrade to the latest version of Illustrator to solve your problem. I'm NOT stating that is the only solution, merely that it may be needed.

  • Text box should not appear when printed

    Need to create a 4-line text box/form field/comment to give users instructions, but box should not be visible when printed.  A form/text field can be set-up to be visible but not printed, however, it will not allow multiple lines of text in it.
    Any suggestions?

    You made my day, week, etc.!
    I assumed that feature was to allow users only to enter multiple lines.

  • MacOSX (10.9): Print dialogue box does not appear when printing PDF's

    Hi there,
    I've been having some troubles with the latest version of Adobe Reader on an intel-based MacBook Pro running MacOSX 10.9 (Mavericks).
    Environment Details:
    Device type: MacBook Pro
    OSX: 10.9 (Mavericks)
    Adobe Reader version: 11.0.06
    Details:
    After installing Reader 11.0.06, the print dialogue box does not appear through the print button or through File -> Print... . As a result, I simply cannot print PDF documents when using Adobe Reader.
    - Only 1 MacBook Pro affected
    - The print dialogue box does appear for other application (i.e. Preview, Word, Excel, etc., etc.)
    - Multiple restarts performed
    - Attempted to download older versions with no success
    - Attempted multiple uninstall/reinstalls
    - Reset the CUPS printing system multiple times
    - Validated that the account accessing/using Reader has full administrative privileges to the Adobe Reader application
    - Occurs for multiple PDF's from various sources
      -> Online source
      -> Converted from Word
    Additionally (I'm unsure if this is related or not), but after trying to perform an update, I receive the following error:

  • "transparent" bounding boxes appear when printing from InDesign and Acrobat

    Hi. I have encountered a problem with both CS4 and CS5 InDesign and Acrobat 9.0. Mac OS 10.5.8. When I print (artwork flattened before I create PDF with standard "Press Quality" from InDesign or Adobe Illustrator default from Illustrator) lighter areas that are rectangular shaped will appear on the color print. We use a rip and this appears to happen randomly. I have spent considerable time troubleshooting this...I have used every work around I can think of—to no avail.
    1. What is this?
    2. Why is this happening?
    3. Is there technical information out there to help me get rid of it?
    Thanks so much!

    Solid areas of lighter color. I am not sure if our rip can handle live transparency. It is a Fiery 8e Release 2. I tried a solution from a previous post that suggested de-selecting the Pantone match option when I print and that did work.
    The PDF's are high res. It has even happened on some PDF's that were created through Distiller as high res. I have seen this at the print shop I work at and also at the college where I teach design.
    Thanks so much for your quick response.

  • Random é appears when printing

    I have Illustrator 10 and after saving to a PDF and printing from Acrobat, a random 'é' appears at the start of every text line. This is not visible in any view on the computer at all, and I have wasted a lot of time trying to remove it. Please, if anyone has any ideas of how to remove the é from the printed document, your advice would be greatly appreciated. I need to figure this out asap.
    Thanks.

    Just for clarification...
    You don't really mean
    random, do you?
    It appears
    only at the start of each line, and it happens with
    every line, right? That would make it anything
    but random.
    Does this happen with all fonts or only with one or a few?
    What happens when you print the document directly out of Illustrator on the same printer?

  • Why am I suddenly getting a strange banding effect when printing.

    I've been using Adobe Photoshop CS5 for the last two years and I've started getting a strange banding effect on my prints.  Photoshop seems to be the only application that is effected.  I print on a large format printer, my drivers are up to date, if I print a smaller size and fit to page (test print) the print is ok.  When I print to full size I start having the problem. 

    However, when something starts acting weird suddenly, that is usually a sign to re-set your Photoshop preferences.
    Preferences files vary by name and location for each version of Photoshop.
    To re-create the preferences files for Photoshop, start the application while holding down Ctrl+Alt+Shift (Windows) or Command+Option+Shift (Mac OS). Then, click Yes to the message, "Delete the Adobe Photoshop Settings file?"
    Mac OS
    Important: Apple made the user library folder hidden by default with the release of Mac OS X 10.7. If you need access to files in the hidden library folder to perform Adobe-related troubleshooting, see How to access hidden user library files.

  • Strange things happen when printing

    when I print I have what seems to be some random faded 'boxes' appear in the background. They seem to be related to elements which have a drop shadow or transparency applied to them.
    I have changed 'All Spots to Process' in the ink manager as that fixed some transparency issues in the past but no dice with this problem. Any ideas?
