Illustrator :: Lines Being Printed That Don't Appear On PDF Document

Aug 21, 2013

I own a company that designs and sells sewing patterns for men's clothing to be made by home sewers. I have my patterns professionally drafted and sent to me as a poster-sized PDF. I then open it in Illustrator, move things around, change some fonts, etc... and make a 34" wide copy to be printed at a copy shop. That's all fine and dandy, and it prints out perfectly.
 
I then use Acrobat XI Pro to open the 34" version and print to Adobe PDF with the poster setting of 7.5" x 10" for people to print at home. Then I open each page of the multi-page PDF in Illustrator to add a border, alignment marks, page numbers, etc... and save as the same PDF.
 
Now here is where the weirdness begins. For some reason, there are random chunks of lines (identical to the pattern lines throughout the rest of the document) that aren't supposed to be there. They don't show up on my screen when I open the file in Illustrator or Adobe, but they get printed every time. I've even started the whole process from scratch, tested the 34" wide version at the print shop (prints perfectly), and split it into pages again, and the phantom lines are still there!
 
I've attached a photo I took of one of the pages in question. The file on my screen is the exact one I printed, and as you can see, they are definitely not the same
 
I have been saving the PDF files as Press Quality from Illustrator.

Illustrator :: Why Do Colours Change In Printed Document

Jul 17, 2013

When I add a logo to my artwork in illustrator, import the illustrator file to a word template and print, it changes the printed colours dramatically..(black to blue, green to black and yellow to pink). Do I need to change a setting for that imported logo to make it compatible to print?  Without that particular logo, the document prints fine.

Illustrator :: Printed Banner Document Settings?

Jan 6, 2014

I've been using Illustrator for quite some time now. I recently got an assignment to design a printed banner (bunting), with the end product size of 3' x 8' (feet).
 
I was wondering about the document settings I should put in to illustrator before I start designing.
 
P.S, I'm using Illustrator CS6.

CorelDRAW X6 :: Document Grid Cannot Be Removed And Always Printed Out

Jul 17, 2013

I have several documents made in older CorelDraw versions. Problem- When I tried to add new pages to the existing document, the Document Grid appeared only in the new page. And these cannot be removed. Worse, it is printed everytime. There is no way for me to remove it.

PS: These problem did not appear in new documents created in CorelDraw x6. It occurs in CorelDraw x6 when using older version files.

GIMP :: Document To Fill Page Entirely When Printed?

Oct 25, 2011

I have created a document, and when I printed it out to see how it turned out, I noticed that I left margins on all four sides. I need the document to fill the page in its entirety, as it is going to be one of those "tear off the phone number at the bottom" type of advertisements.

Is there some way that I can "zoom in" everything that I've created, so it fills an entire 8.5x11 piece of paper?

I'll keep digging while I wait for the wisdom of the forums. Here is a link to the .xcf: [URL] .....

Photoshop :: Dimensions Of Printed Image Not Equal To Document

Feb 21, 2012

I am running PS CS5.5 on a a MAC running OSX 10.7.3 and printing to an Epson Stylus Photo 2200.
 
Background:
Basically, the dimensions of a printed graphic are different than the size that is specified in the PS version of the graphic. The amount of error is about 1/16 of an inch over a 6 inch distance. This matters as the printed output must fit a template exactly.
 
Details:
I create a 300 dpi resolution document. I am using inches as the ruler setting and the method for specifying the size of an object in the Free Transform Dialog. I create, with the rectangle tool, a rectangle and then use command-T to specify the dimensions to be 6 inches X 1 inch. I check using the ruler tool and verify that the shape is 6 X 1. When I print, the object is smaller.  In fact, it will be 5 29/32 inches instead of 6 inches.
 
If I create the same object using Illustrator, the object prints (same printer)  exactly the specified dimension. If I place the illustrator object into Photoshop it will "say" that it is 6 inches but prints at the reduced size.
 
After pulling my hair out, I have just adopted the work-a-round of scaling the output, in the printer dialog, by an appropriate % to compensate.  There must be a better way to address this problem.

Photoshop :: Monitor Screen Colour And Printed Document Colours Don't Match

Apr 4, 2006

I'm having trouble getting both of my printers to print out to the same tone/colour that is displayed on my Monitor. Neither are accurate

Is there anything I can do with my monitor settings, or my photoshop/illustrator colour settings so that what I see on the screen is what will be printed out.

The printers are :

1) Hewlett Packard 1220C

2)Epson Stylus 2100

They both print out differently.

For the HP printer I've looked at the 'Image Colour Management' and it states the 'ICM is handled by host'

For the Epson printer the Colour Management is set to 'Automatic: Windows will automatically select the best colour profile from the list of associated color profiles'

I know it's possible to change the Color Setting in Photoshop but I don't really know what to set it to, and who to set it so it's as close to my monitor display as possible. (I work with RGB colour)

Photoshop :: Lines Showing When Printed But Not On PS?

Jan 23, 2013

The grid lines I used when creating a watercolour are showing when I print the image, however they are not showing when I am in Photoshop, making it impossible for me to correct them.  Is there a tool I can use to bring these lines to the forefront so that I can correct them?

Photoshop :: Vertical Lines In Printed Pictures

Feb 24, 2013

I have vertical lines spaced at 1/2 inch in my printed pictures and would like to get rid of them. It happens with Photoshop CS-6 but not with Microsoft Photo Editor. I'm using a HP Officejet 6500A Plus and the color printing is fine. 
 
Additional info: I am using Windows 7 on a Dell. Service pack 1, 32 bit system.
 
It happens with pdf files, jpeg, and psd. I am managing colors with the printer. I am using best quality printing. I have tried Color Smart and Adobe settings for RGB on the printer dialog page. I have tried telling the printer that I am using HP premium plus, plain paper and Other photo papers (My paper is actually Staples high gloss photo supreme).
 
What is remarkable to me is that I get high quality prints with the same printer, same paper, same settings using Microsoft Photo Editor - no vertical lines at all. However MPE is not very versatile, and the pdf I am currently trying to print will not load onto MPE.

Revit :: 2013 Lines Not Visible On Screen Or Printed

Mar 25, 2013

Just upgraded to REVIT 2013 and now many types of lines are not visible on screen- randomly it seems. Also, sometimes they don't print, either. I've tried increasing the fineness of the view, changing the material definitions, etc. Most often this is happenning when I have opened an old file and had it automatically update the file. Also, it seems to happen within asurface texture, but it is not limited to that circumstance.

AutoCad :: Strange Lines Around Objects On Printed Draw

Apr 21, 2011

we are using AutoCad 2011 and 2008.When any draw is open everything seems to be just fine, but when we print it out then it came out with lines around the objects(green, grey...)

We have tried 4 different printers with all drivers that we could found on internet, with no success. On the ploter we aren't having any problems and the lines are gone.Also the AutoCad 2006 is without the problems, but we want to move on to the version 11

Is there any setting which we should change?

CorelDRAW X5 :: Small Graphics (logos) Have Saw Tooth Lines When Printed?

May 26, 2013

I am printing to a Brother laser printer and a Kodak inkjet using logos in a size I have never used before. None of the content is postscript, none of it should have halftone, and none of it is bitmap-based. I have resized simple CDR and AI vector line art logos for clothing care from large size (about 4") down to 0.25" for a project I am working on. Uniform fill in black is used and some of the logos have outlines and some do not. When I print the tiny logos on the laser printer, even with a DPI or 600 or 1200, some (not all) of the lines have a noticeable saw tooth appearance under magnification, instead of smooth. Fonts that are around 5-point print with clean lines. When I print on the inkjet printer with the same DPI settings, the logos appear smooth under magnification. There may be a hint of a saw tooth, but it is barely noticeable. Font that are around 5-point print with clean lines. Perhaps I went beyond the capabilities of the laser printer, but I question that because the fonts print cleanly with much finer lines than in the logos. Note that I did notice a 45 degree halftone appearance in laser printed text with a uniform fill that was much larger than the logos, even though it is not postscript. This did not occur with the inkjet.

how I can make these logos have crisp solid lines in the tiny size I am using? I'm not printing separations. I haven't found any settings in CorelDraw X5 to fix this.

CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X5 :: Getting Horizontal Lines On Printed Output?

Feb 3, 2012

I just printed of the design for my first t-shirt. There are faint horizontal lines, about 1/2 inch apart, thru an ellipse with a green-blue fountain fill that are not part of the design. Is this my printer, or is there something in the program that I am (not?) doing?

Lightroom :: Showing Crop Lines On A Printed Or Saved Image?

Aug 17, 2012

Is it possible to either print or save an image that shows the crop lines from Lightroom (i.e. shows what is both in AND out of the image as it is cropped).  I'm working off a scanned negative and I want to show my printer just how to crop the image.  She was hoping to see both what's inside and outside the crop?  Possible to get that to her either by printing that from my computer or emailing it to her?

CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X6 :: Fine White Lines Showing In Printed Products

Nov 3, 2013

I've received two orders of CDs for a client, and in the printed artwork there are some flaws that have me wondering what to do to avoid this.

Files were submitted in PDF format with text converted to curves. I believe the artwork is then imported into AI at the other end before going to print.

Along the edge of an object with a drop shadow, there is a fine white line showing. On the two products with identical artwork, the line shows on different edges, but appears to be where the drop shadow ends.

In other spots, there is what I would call "scratches", where, within an image there is a fine white line. This is not an edge or overlap, so I'm at a loss for this.

In another place, one character in a word essentially did not print. So I'm wondering what my "best practice" would be to avoid this. Should I "flatten" everything when I'm done, essentially converting the entire page to a single 300DPI bitmap?

Should I include text in the flattened bitmap, or is it best to leave as curves? My gut says leaving as curves preserves maximum resolution, but does it matter if it is not being scaled?

I've never before had issues with getting artwork printed from PDFs. In most cases, I imagine the print is created directly from my submitted PDF.

Illustrator :: Path Length Not Same When Printed?

Feb 14, 2014

I have a fuculty member that is prepping a document in illustrator. The image is a ruler. On the screen the paths show up as 48 inches long with 48 1 inch lines 1 inch apart. each line / path length in the w-vlaue in the inspection bar showing the correct lengths. the main backbone of the ruler is a black box that is 48" long.
 
When we print this at 720dpi on an Epson 9900 the Ruler prints at just under 49" we did another test with just 4pt think lines.
 
5 inch prints at 5.1" 10 inches just over 10" 24 inches print at 24 1/2 "
 
on and on. so why the values in the w-value are different when printing?
 
I was able to check this agains my HP laserjet in my office, and again, line lenghts versus the w-value are not the same.

Illustrator :: How Embedded And Linked Images Printed

Jul 28, 2013

I have an illustrtor documcnet which is one quater of the size it will be printed at (50 * 12.5 cm up to 2 * 0.5 m).

It is at one quater on request of the company printing the banner. It has a high res texture image (embedded) on the babk layer and the rest is all vectors.
 
When the image is printed (and scaled up 400% in the process) will the high res image be printed at the highest resolution available? If not is there an easy way to scale my artboard guides, all objects and effects up by 400%.

Illustrator :: Can't Center Printed Artwork On A6 Cardstock

Jun 4, 2013

I've been spending way too much time unsuccessfully trying to figure this out.. I'm working in Illustrator CS6, printing some artwork on A6 cardstock and it will not center, even though it is centered on the artboard and in the media preview in the print panel. I would customize the media size, but the custom command in the dropdown list in the print panel is not available (it is grayed out). I tried customizing the media size in Page Setup and that didn't work (the printer spits out blank cards). I've tried using the A6 preset size in both the Print Panel and in Page Setup, and the artwork is still offset, or worse. I've tried printer defined settings, no luck.
 
The main question is how to center that artwork? Also, how can I access that custom media size command?
 
I'm using 2 different epson printers with the same result.
 
The artwork centers nicely on letter-size paper.

Photoshop :: Creating Crisp Lines From A Fuzzy Document / CS4?

Feb 10, 2013

I have a scanned copy of an old architectural plan of a building, it was done by hand is old and being a copy traced by crayon so you can imagine it is very fuzzy and speckled, there are clearly visible but no solid crisp lines.
 
It has taken me hours just to delete large areas of white space that is fuzzy/speckled.
 
there is a function that can trace a line ignoring the fuzziness around it and making it crisp? I've been playing around with the magic wand tool but its not coping with it. Despeckle filter doesn't really cut it either.

Illustrator :: CS6 - Converting PMS To Process For Files To Be Printed 4 Color Process

Oct 4, 2012

How the PMS color palettes "simulate" on screen how the color will print on different substrates (glossy vs matte vs uncoated paper). That's great for comps, but if you convert it to CMYK to print it, and the values are representing a "simulated" color it won't look correct (by that I mean come close to matching the spot color). For example, the uncoated palette simulates the color by making them appear a bit washed out on screen - pretty good visual simulation. But it might do so by adding black and cyan to orange for example, etc. - effectively dulling the original color.

So if I convert that to CMYK within the new Pantone + color palette, and then send it to the printer - it won't appear as it did on screen, it will dull the end color even more because it's converted the color to the dull simulated version - what a disaster! It's only doing half the job - showing us what it should look like on screen. In order to be truly efficient for design professionals the CMYK conversion might remove black and cyan completely to effectively brighten the color in the final output on uncoated paper. I would prefer it just stick to the standard conversion, which Pantone did have as a standard palette option (PMS to process), and then I can adjust if I think it's necessary.
 
Any corporate branding system will likely start with a PMS spot color palette for the identity. Then it will build into many different adaptations - full color brochures, large format banners and trade show graphics, website, advertising. So any corporate branding system will need to have PMS, CMYK and RGB versions of their main corporate color palette. There was a standard for these translations that was automatically consistent in the Adobe software and that is now all over the place, so it relies on individuals manually adapting the color mixes for final use - what a great way to screw things up.

Illustrator :: How To Set DPI For A Document

Jul 8, 2011

I'm designing a user interface for iPad (Resolution: 1024x768, DPI:132). Setting the resolution is a piece of cake but when I change the ruler unit to Centimeters, it shows the screen about 36x27cm which is not right (iPad screen is 24.3x19cm).
 
Illustrator calculates these lengths based on the DPI. But when creating a new document the only available DPI's are: 72, 150, 300 (File > New > Raster Effect). I know that Illustrator is a vector design program but there must be a way to set the DPI to an arbitrary value.
 
How can I have a 1024x768px artboard in Illustrator that is 24.3x19cm? (DPI=132)

Also, any way to scale by other unit besides percentage? So I have a shape that's 374 pixels across. I want to scale it proportionally to 800 pixels across. (traditionally, I just whip out the ol' proportional alegbra equation to convert to percentage)
