Question
I am trying to print separations from illustrator. I put a 7% angle on the spot separation, but it comes out of the imagesetter at 15%....any ideas?

Answer
HI Derek,

Without being there to see it, I'd have to guess that some setting on your printer is interfering. Have you looked through and turned off all the bells and whistles on the printer? Usually when this happens, it's because the printer is trying to print at the best quality that it can...

Also, you should look at the Compatible gradient mesh option and make sure it is not checked.

What happens with the angles when you print seps to a PDF document (if you can do that)?

Let me know
Amy
