The main cause of text and vector thickening is bleeding. the 9600
lacks light black inks so rips tend to generate a lot of colour black
in the highlights and shadows in order to compensate for this. This in
turn causes text thickening.
You have 2 choices
1. If your rip supports it then select "retain pure black for text"
and this should at least fix the text thickening.
2. Regenerate your icc profile and modify the ucr/gcr settings so that
a lot more black is generated into the shadows.

Hey Brainiacs....
We run GMG thru some older 9600 Epsons at 720 dpi and our text and
illustrations come out considerably thicker on our proofs than on
our press sheets. I have tried running 1440 dpi ( slightly
better.... but nothing to right home to ma about :-) I have also
played around with sharpening in GMG to little avail. The pdf's are
coming from Prinergy. Is there some bell or whistle I am missing to
rectify this? Are the newer Epsons...... which we will be getting
soon ....... any better in this regard? Thanks in advance for any
light you may shed on this matter.
