Hi All
I recently helped a friend install a laser printer on a PC running 2000 and
an Imac running 9.2. As you would expect the Mac install took seconds and
the PC minutes. They are not networked, they simply pull the USB plug and
swap to the machine that needs it.
When all was working we sent a test print to the printer from each machine,
the test was the same Illustrator file on each machine made up of 1pt vector
line art. The file from the PC printed beautifully with smooth vector
curves, the file from the Imac came out pretty good but there were visible
steps in the curves, it was not pixels but tiny steps, the same thing
happened at 600dpi and 1200dpi.
They are not using a RIP or any third party software on either machine, just
simply sending an Illustrator file to the printer via the printer driver.
Can anyone offer a suggestion why this difference should exist between a Mac
and a PC ?
Any help or comments greatly appreciated
