RE: illustrator file exported to PDF print issue.


...looks more like a print head issue to me...

...can you verify this by printing either directly from illustrator or another program like photoshop, or Word, or a simple text program like notepad?

...have you tried cleaning the print heads on the printer, or using a new cartridge?

...there looks to be a lot of banding on your printed sample, which would either indicate low ink levels, or blocked printer heads...

Thx apepp, I know the scanned file dont help, this problem are present in laser and inkjet print, the principal issue is the color of lines. I made a new print in Laser printer and problem persist. You have any posibility to solve it!

RE: illustrator file exported to PDF print issue.


...and in every occasion you are printing from acrobat reader?

...have you tried printing from acrobat reader with option "print as image" turned on?

...if this option was on, try the opposite with "print as image" turned off...

thanks so much again, but this not fix a problem. for your knowledge I made a pdf with all page in one image, but the problem persist, and try converting text to curves, but doesn´t work, I think maybe this are related with PDF or print configuration because I made this file on Corel draw but the PDF file exported again printed bad.

  

RE: illustrator file exported to PDF print issue.


...what about printing from a standard application like a text editor such as notepad on PC or textedit on mac?

...if it happens from other applications, then you can be pretty sure it is printer hardware problem, as opposed to a software problem...

...a process of elimination is required...
