Olde Town printing issue

[azeroth]

Hope someone can help me with this.  On my color laser printer everything is printing fine except the pdf of old towne for some reason, it decides to print out streaky. It is driving me insane now anyone got any ideas??

I can print anything else out fine in color A4 but for some reason not the pdf sheets from this download.

Thanks in advance

A tricky sounding issue, and could be a number of things, from printer memory, the connection to the computer, the software reading the file, etc.... For instance, if the printer doesn't have enough memory to hold the image,

Do you have problems with any other of my projects. Try the free derelict building if you don't own any others. That will help tell if you printer doesn't like full page, 300 dpi CYMK images. It's possible.

What I might suggest trying is to look into the software you using to open the file (some version of adobe reader?) and checking the print options. If there is are any settings there to adjust the image being sent. quality, color management, etc. Sometimes a slight tweak can help, just note what settings you use to be consistent.

Try those two things and let us know. I'll have to think of other ideas.

Tried another download it seems fine. Printer memory seems ok too just any thing from this one pack seems streaky as if there are patches missing it's weird. Sorry to be a pain. I am trying to build Whitechapel type of board.

What model laser printer?

Still not sure if it's not a CYMK vrs RBG thing. I'll see if I can get together a test file for you to compare print types through it.

Here, give this test file a shot.

There are three different graphics formats. The first page is what is presented in the source PDF. The next two are altered and might give us an insight into what is going on. The first page should print like jumk, unless the problem is the full page nature of most images, ideally the 2nd page will print OK, otherwise we need to reduce DPI.

The only thing left I can think to suggest is to reduce saturation, which would mean less toner on the drum.

Now this is strange, the test files print perfectly. The original fiel is doing the same as always weird indeed.

Only last thing I can think of then, I know Wargames Vault "optimizes" my pdf sometimes, because they feel the PDFs take customers too long to download.

I've uploaded an alternate 150 dpi pdf to the WV listing, you should see that in your library. Let me know if that works for you, and if it does, don't replace the file in any updates (just in case). let me know, and if it works I'll get the floors and props updated as well.

[azeroth]

The new walls are perfect. Thank you so much. If I can ask for the others now please

Amazing customer service.

Hopefully that should sort you out. Just remember to post pics when you get you Whitechapel build up, I always enjoy seeing them.

Strange tried to print them today. Test file prints fine anything else prints with faded section down it. Starting to think someone up there doesn't want me to build these.

Haven't forgotten you Azeroth, been thinking on it, but afraid I don't have a recommendation YET. I'll do some googling and stuff tonight, see what I can do. To help me can I get a couple things from you.

What model printer are you using?
What software do you use to open/print the pdfs (versions number too)?
Do you send a single page to the printer at a time, or multiple?
What particular pages have you tried in this last run?

Printer is a Samsung cl 410

Adobe acrobat latest update.

Tried a few different pages it's strange I thought it might be the printer but it prints a sample ok and the sample you posted comes out fine.

Just in case you spam filters snip my message. I emailed you another dropbox link to try
