I am working on a Mac 10.4.11 with both VW 12.5 and VW 2008. They both have the same problem, which is that all Patterns inserted as Fills corrupt into thick black lines when I print on Kinko's large and small printers.
1) I made a test sheet with various boxes infilled with Patterns, Hatches (by Modify) and Hatches (by Attribute)
2) I exported those as PDFs at 300 dpi (one at 8.5" x 11" and one at 24" x 36")
3) Both PDFs look fine on screen with Adobe Reader
4) Printing 8.5 x 11 PDF on the Epson Workforce inkjet printer in my office is fine for Patterns and Hatches
5) At Kinkos, they use Windows XP and Adobe 8 to print
6) On the Kinkos BW Xerox printer, color Xerox printer, and large format plotter, both types of Hatches print well but all Patterns corrupt and become thick black lines.
Any idea what is going wrong with printing Patterns?
Tried turning off Quartz Imaging and remaking PDFs to no avail.
