Photoshop :: Illustrator Printing Question
Oct 10, 2007
I got another illustrator question for ya. This might be the easiest darn thing in the world to do, but I can't figure it out. My brain is now fried from searching for help, so I'm asking you wonderful people (yes, I'm sucking up).
I'm trying to print Avery 5160 style labels directly out of Illustrator. I have the template I need and it works great.
My problem is that I'm wanting to put a graphic (jpg.) on each label. The damn bordering box is my biggest enemy right now. How do you get ride of it (or resize it)???? It overlaps onto the next graphic below it and the one below that and so on and so forth..

I've airbrushed a picture with an actual airbrush and since got rid of it now I only have the photo left I've taken it in to ps a couple of times to try and brighten it up to print onto paper but it just keeps coming out too dark?
I've adjusted the brightness contrast, curves layers to not much good? printed it from illustrator still no good, So now I'm wondering print set up?

My Sister wants to scan some ink drawings into an editor, color them and put some text on them. Then she wants to send the results to a professional printing company to print up cards.
Should we be doing this in Illustrator instead of Photoshop and in vector graphics? What file format should we use? What scanner?

I'm working on my design for a project (book) and I want to export a typography into Photoshop to give it more effects, work with a textured background, etc. I was wondering if I export it as a PSD file I'll be able to keep the printing quality, since printing text from Photoshop comes out pixelated. Also, would I have to re-open it in Illustrator again after I'm done with Photoshop?

We are using Illustrator CS4. Until recently, we had been using Freehand. When we place eps files saved from freehand, or open the freehand file in illustrator and drag the image onto our new templates, the image doesn't print. All the layers of our product templates print, and if something is typed or placed from another application, it prints fine. We can sometimes changed the color of the imprint and get it to print, but this doesn't always work.

A client notified me that a pdf I created prints but all of the new .eps files don't show in the print. The one thing I did differently was to convert everything to RGB gor the PDF output since they were getting odd results from my cmyk files when viewed on mobile devices. When I try printing the same document on my own printer everything prints correctly. why the eps graphics are not printing?
Also, I just noticed that the small avatar or symbol next to all my eps files shows up as a little page with a turned corner and grid lines. Is that a new development I overlooked or an indication that something else is going on?

I have designed 18 "tee-signs" for our disc golf course. They print fine from Illustrator to various color printers. Now, we are getting them printed on a sticker which we will affix to a metal plate and post near the tees. The printer we are working with requested eps, so I saved a few in illustrator eps format and had him print them to test. They look great except for a few artifacts. For instance, for hole 8, around the "8" in upper left there is a very light shaded rectangle. This doesn't correspond to any shape that is buried in there. What it *should* look like is [URL] .... (note, this does NOT show the artifact). So, I printed the eps files myself, and I don't get those artifacts, but I do get a few random lines, and also the corners of the stroked fonts look like they are "selected", i.e. tiny circle.

When printing a vector illustration in PDF format, my gradients that fade to 0% over a surface aren't coming out right. The gradient appears like a box with a hard edge, rather than fading away. It looks like this when viewing the file , but when printed I am getting this . (don't mind the color, it is a bad quality photo)
I am using an HP z5200 postscript printer.

I had to send some logos to a printing company, in order for them to laser-print the logos on some pens. They replied back to me, saying that the logos needed to be "broken into curves" before they could go ahead and print them.

When I print RGB documents from AI CS6 (and earlier ai versions as well) to an Epson Photo 2200, the color is wrong. In order to print decent color, I must copy the ai files to Photoshop (at 300+ dpi) and print from there. Only then is the color good (as expected). I am using Adobe RGB (1998) as my document color space, and being very careful to allow ai/ps to manage color, matching the driver with the proper print speed, stock, etc, using Epson's paper-specific ICC profiles for each print.
What is it about the way ai sends color to a printer that is so "wrong?"

I have a group of several objects – text box; rule line and some colored rectangles that act as jigs for someone to develop a layout. I do not want the jigs to print. Is there a way to suppress printing for just certain objects or make certain colors non-printing? Note: Non-printing layers will not work because the grouped objects puts everything on the same layer and I need the text and rule lines to print.

Illy and Photoshop, both of which are making me pull my hair out (much respect for graphic designers). I designed a simple letterhead with a horizontal bar that is supposed to go to the edge of letter size paper but when it actually prints, the bar doesn't extend to the edges. I have a bleed of .125 (1/8") set up so that I can extend this horizontal bar past the document edges so that when it prints, there are no funny edges. I'm printing at home on a non-commercial printer, an HP Color Laser Jet 5500 PCL 6. I've also made sure that the document is not scaled or "fit to page" before printing. And both printing directly from Illustrator and saving as PDF and printing produce the same result. Such a simple thing is driving me nuts.

How do I set my Illustrator file to print clearly?
I am designing a simple label (3.75 x 1.25 inches, black and white) that is mostly text based. I tried printing directly from Illustrator and also as a converted PDF (high quality) and the results are the same - slightly blurry and fuzzy text.
The printing problem seems to only happen when I try to print Illustrator files and PDFs converted from Illustrator. (Printing with a laser printer.)

Today is my first day using CS6 and all of a sudden some of my fonts are substituting (to a default font) when I print. The print preview looks normal. These are the exact same files I've been able to print with no problem in CS5. I tried setting Convert All Text to Outlines: On in the print presets and that didn't do it. (and of course I don't want to have to convert all of my text to outlines each time I print).
I also uninstalled and reinstalled my printer last night but I've done that before with no issues so I don't think it's the culprit.

When I want to send file separation containing only spot colours, sometimes it comes with empty CMYK separations printed.
Lets say an artwork may be only one colour, so when printed the outcome should be just that colour, but instead I end up with 5 separations printed - the one I wanted to print plus cmyk bits all blank (empty pages with only registration pieces imprinted).
Neither on artwork nor separation preview there's no process colours whatsoever, so do any of You know what may cause this?
I'm using the same print template and it happens form time to time. (not a problem for me but my colleagues complain about it all the time).

I have designed a cd cover that needs to go off to print on Monday. Everything looks fine on screen in Illustrator cs5 and when i print from illustrator it looks fine. When i save it to pdf it still looks fine on screen but when i print it the colours are so dark the images are unrecognisable. The company im printing to want the pdf preset as Press Quality, it looks awful but i have tried all the presets and they all look as bad. Everything is in CYMK. I really cant understand what is going on! I have two deskjet printers and they both look terrible (one slightly worse though).

I created a logo in Illustrator (CS6), then used a mask to cover parts of it.
Next, I placed the logo into the flyer on InDesign.
Everything works fine until I export it to a PDF, where the part that is masked shows up as opaque.
I checked in Acrobat -- the mask is preserved on there. My concern, however, is that I want to publish the flyer digitally as well.

I'm building a script that loops through folders and prints all available PDF-files (long story). I'm having some issues with PDF-files, that has multiple artboards in them.
When doing the obligatory "sourceDoc.Print()" it only prints the first artboard. Are there any available print-options that I can set to force it to print ALL artboards in the given file?

so when I print multiple artboards only the first artboard prints correctly and the rest don't get rotated to fit the media so art falls off the page.
it all shows up fine in the preview. this only happens when printing multiple pages, if I print 1 at a time without changing settings it prints fine. this also only happens in illustrator cs6. I have cs4 installed and it prints fine.

I recently bought an HP 6600 printer to replace a cheapo Lexmark printer.
I'm making maps -> photoshop to Illy to print with tiling set at 6-8 pages. When I print on the new HP, the resize percentages are off; so streets, numbers, text, etc. do not line up when pieced together.
This did not happen with the cheapo Lexmark, so I am assuming that it is the printer?

Why is there no composite grayscale printing option in Illustrator? I see it in Acrobat and Indesign. There are times we need to print grayscale composites to check layout and content.
Besides converting all colors to grayscale, I see no way to simply print grayscale out of Illustrator. Am I missing something?

I've been asked to produce a timeline to be printed 110cm deep by 410cm wide and wall mounted on Foamex.
The time line will be made up of individual panels - one for each year. 2010 / 2011 / 2012 / 2013 / 2014...
The reason for each year to be printed as a separate panel is to prevent 2013 being plonked on the end of previous years - hope that makes sense! (Each panel will be a summary of the year.)
Ideally I would like to design the timeline with a flowing background graphic so I would need to create the main background as one, then exactly crop each year panel to print individually.
What I'm unsure on is how best to crop each year including bleeds ect so when butted uptogether the design looks seamless.

My script creates an artboard in my pdf file. i need to print this artboard only.
if i go to file/print manually there is an option 'Bereich' (pls see screenshot, my illustrator is in german language), so only the 2nd page is printed. (exactly what i want)
up to now i could not find this option (or something similiar) within vbscript.
code:
...
appRef.ActiveDocument.Artboards.Add(Array(Rminx,Rmaxy,Rmaxx,Rminy)) ' vars are correctly set before
Set jobOptionsRef = CreateObject("Illustrator.PrintJobOptions")
Set printOpts = CreateObject("Illustrator.printOptions")
printOpts.JobOptions = jobOptionsRef
jobOptionsRef.Designation = 2 'aiAllLayers
jobOptionsRef.PrintArea=2
appRef.ActiveDocument.PrintOut printOpts
....
these lines prints 2 pages: 1) main document 2) artboard
if i set
jobOptionsRef.Designation = 1
only the main document is printed - but not the artboard. i need exactly the other way round, only the artboard but no main image.
