Problems printing vector file with gradient effects.
Hello forum members.
I have Mutoh ValueJet 1624 and Sai Flexi Print RIP.
I have problem printing a particular file. It is a very messy vector file with gradient effects.
Every other files prints ok. Only this file shows some kind of lines when printed. (it is not banding)
All other files from the same job print ok.
I only have problems with this particular file.
So far I have tried converting to TIFF, JPG, EPS, JPG. No luck.
Your suggestions are welcomed.

In instances where a graduated tint has resulted in distinct steps in the print I have converted the file to a bmp and introduced a gaussian blur which eliminates the steps. You can do this in corel or photoshop

In illustrator- rasterize or save as TIFF, also when saving set postscript language level to 3, applying blur might help as well.

Thank you both. Will try this.

Same job. Two years later. Same problem.
The is the only file giving me problems.
Colour on screen is blue. Colour printed is grey. :bangshead:

Is this a print & cut file Pane?
-
No. Its a print file. I cut on a separate Summa.
I tried PDF, JPG, EPS.
All grey
Im having some success by adding cyan in the RIP mixer
Must be something to so with how this file is made / saved as…

I would copy & delete the text, rasterise the background in illustrator, replace the text & save as an eps file

Thanks Kevin. Tried this just now. Still grey-ish. Will continue in the morning.

Is the file cmyk or rgb?

I was hoping this will solve the problem. File was RGB, changed to CMYK and I get the same grey-ish print.
After another hour of playing I’m close enough to the sample result. (adding Cyan and Magenta in the RIP mixer)
Thank you for the suggestions Kevin.

Good day folks.
Another gradient effect problem.I’m printing with FlexiPRINT SE Mutoh Edition – File made in Adobe Illustrator.
I print the file. I get the colours required. But I get a sharp line in the gradient.
– When I rasterise. I get good gradient. But the colours change.
