Thanks for this information…good to know I’m not the only one cussing at my printer! Turns out, I found another screwy error that I fixed. I still couldn’t get Illustrator to print the document, but when I saved it as a PDF, opened in Preview and printed, it seemed to work just fine. Also, the printer wants you to align the triangles, but I found that the only way the printer will “accept” the tray is if you push it in as far as it goes. And shockingly, everything is aligned correctly.

Bruce,

I have had color shifts in CMYK documents from Illustrator or InDesign to Acrobat Reader.

But don’t forget to set the page size and printer in Acrobat Reader’s Page Setup. And set Page Scaling to none in the Print dialog box.

For Illustrator CS, I found that the solution is to edit in Illustrator, but print from Acrobat. Funky. But it works.

gilzoo,

Yeah, that doesn’t sound like there’s an easy explanation. I have CS2 here are work and it’s on a Mac. I have CS at home on a PC, but not the printer to test it on. I know that the Printer setting dialogs are different between the two OSes.

If you figure out, please post.

Thanks for the tips…

I can’t understand why…but the CD/DVD options are greyed out in illustrator CS. They’re available in all other applications, just not in CS. And it looks like in the printer settings dialog, it always reverts to SHEET FEEDER.

This saved me a lot of time. I checked the details for european settings and I used PhotoShop in stead of Illustrator.

Using A4 paper, the offsets in millimeters are:
- 12 mm from the left
- 4 mm from the top

Hence your centerpoint would be 72mm, 64mm (x,y).
