CS printing non-existent halftones

[Josh_McKible@adobeforums.com]

CS seems to want to print everything with a very fine colored halftone. I've tried this with all kind s of different docs and it's the same problem. I even did a test with a document consisting of nothing but a black square in the center of the page,and its printed with this halftone everywhere where it should just be blank, white. It's happening with all my documents not just one.

I've tried printing the same documents through the mac "preview" program and it prints fine. So it appears to be a problem specific to Illustrator.

I've checked this board already to see if anyone else was having this problem but haven't found anyone sharing this particular misery.

I'm running Panther and my printer is a Canon i900D.

Any help or suggestion would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Hi Josh,

You may want to take a look at your color management settings. A real light halftone covering the white areas of your file can indicate that Illustrator is trying to give you a proof simulation of how your document would look printed to some device that doesn't match your Canon i900D.
