Ghosting on Colour Plot??

Hi, I am getting a slight ghosting on some of the printed layout pages. I have come to the conclusion that it doesn't matter what .ctb I am using if the layout page has some colour within it then I will get a slight ghosting on every element within the page. If I print the same page using the monochrome.ctb then everything is fine again????

I have also tried using the standard.ctb and I again get the ghosting!

Thanks in advance for any help/input on this problem.

Printing to actual paper or PDF? Or both? If it's to paper but not PDf I think I would wearch for the problem at the printers end.

Could we get an image of it?

Is it 2D or 3D objects?

Hi Tiger,

Just on a print and in 2d.

I will try and get an image scanned and uploaded - although the best way to describe it would be as if there was a slight dropped shadow that seems to have a tinge of colours to it and is slightly furry!!! that now sounds medical!!

Thanks

can you try another printer? Or change the color-cartridges on the printer?

Have you just installed a new ink cartridge in your printer? If so you could check its alignment.

Tiger - the printer I use now is the HP5500dn and is a colour laser printer, my previous printer was the HP5000 which is a smaller A3 laser but only black & white. I had the same problem on the older one.

Maybe it is a HP problem!!!

No I haven't installed any new cartridges.

Maybe the process of printing when colour is involved means the paper gets fed through more time than if it was just a black & white print. I do feel the problem lies with the printer.

Thanks

Just to let all know it turned out to be a print driver that needed updating!

I really thought it was an autocad based problem, after a few posts the opinion was it did seem to lie with the printer.

Thanks to all that took the time to help.
