This is the response that I just received from the customer. Not at all what I suggested but it worked, outline is precisely where it should be. Not sure what a 100% screens is but am assuming that they meant 100 line rather than the standard 133 that I run for them. Thanks for your insight into...

The outline is to simulate the slightly bolder look of old engraved fonts, or at least that is what they told me. I am a 95% Illustrator person and do use the appearance panel for strokes so that I can place the stroke totally on the outside of the character to maintain the character shapes...

Received a few PDF files from InDesign which do not output correctly to film. Lettering with a stroke is not rendered properly, stroke appears to be offset slightly to the left of the character. Using Illustrator, not a PDF editor, to get a little insight as to what is going on found that the...

The preserve Illustrator Editing Capabilities is always checked but I still had font related issues. Did a little research as the missing text was a placed image saved in the same folder as the PDF saved from Illustrator. The fonts in this file were Type1 and the placed file was linked. Seeing...

Am not suggestion that Illustrator is an editor for PDF in general but a PDF created from Illustrator and then reopened in Illustrator on the same machine should not cause any issues. Am I wrong in making this assumption? Have done this for years without any issues until the discontinuation of...

Opened a file (PDF) that was created mid last year in Illustrator 2020 (windows) on the same machine that it was created on. A portion of the text was missing although it was visible in the preview window and there was no Illustrator font error. Tried the newest version of Illustrator with the...

Recently had some film that was slit down and repackaged. Had all types of issues, edge fog, friction fog as well as an overall increase of base fog. Repackaged film did not appear any different cosmetically as it looked professionally packaged. Increased the imagesetter exposure and increased...

Astute Graphics makes a plug in (PHANTASM) that allows you to select a vector element, in this case a 10% black rectangle and turns it into vector half tone elements. You can specify the ruling and angle but the DPI values are not exact. A little testing is in order. The file may become too...

If you are talking about expanded PVC foam like Sintra we experienced it recently. Relative humidity was over 45% which should have taken care of static. Our misting was not consistant, sometime near heavy copy and sometimes a few inches from the print. Tried raising the humidity, using known...

We have also had issues similiar to what you describe. In some cases cleaning the wall surface thoroughly to remove any dust and lint that may be present has helped. We have also found that reducing the ink load on the face stock is helpful especialy if your are using a UV ink system. If the...

We produce films for the pad print market. While it is possible to to use a laser or ink jet printer to produce a 'film' the quality will never compare to a real piece of photographic film that was exposed in an imagesetter. Even the laser plates that I have seen are not as sharp and crisp as a...

Using CS5 and CS6, Windows XP Pro and Windows 7 Pro, all of the print setting are saved when you save the file. Opening the file and going to the print dialog box recalls all of the previous settings.
