Can't Print Illustration
Illustrator refuses to print even small 8.5 x 11 files to our desktop printer. This is an essential part of this program and severely impacts my ability to design and create production files when I cannot print out a simple proof without exporting it to a PDF before Printing.

Any operating system (happens on both Windows and Mac)
Illustrator Version 22.x or 21.xChange "media size" in print setting from "Defined by Driver" to any paper.
Finish the print dialog ("Done" click).
Select from the color book with Swatches panel, or set the arrow with the Stroke panel.
When returning to the print setting again, the media size returns to "Defined by Driver".Does not occur before Version 20 (CC 2015.5).
Possibility to occur when using settings that refer to another Illustrator file.

Lines under 1pt render thick in PDF
In Illustrator, lines thinner than 1pt end up rendering a mess (thick, out of alignment) when viewed in PDF. This is fixed in the viewer by un-checking "Enhance Thin Lines", but it is unreasonable to ask every client of a designer to update that setting. Furthermore it's impossible to un-check this setting, for example on the Vistaprint website where the PDF preview of an AI file is used as the product proof.
Please fix this. There have been a million excuses on why this is not a bug but a feature, but we NEED the ability to disable it from…
8 votesThis is something that you have to address to the Acrobat team. Illustrator has nothing to do about this setting and can’t control it. There is no option for Illustrator to toggle in a generated document, it’s an app-level preference.

CC 2018 Multiply Blend Mode Incorrect
CC 2018 & Mac Sierra
If you apply multiply blend mode to a path, group that and apply multiply again at the group level, you now get 2x multiply. This is wrong whether you look at this from a process ink or spot color printing.
Omg the uploaded example, I am expecting both left and right sides to be identical to each other, as in versions prior to CC2018.
We often get files from designers who will try to make a color look good on screen, and printing off a color laser printer. You could for example draw 2 overlapping…
8 votesWe could reproduce this issue at our end, following are the findings
1. This issue is reproducible in CPU, GPU Rendering and Print Preview(thumbnail).
2. Reproducible in older versions as well including Illustrator CS6 (not a new break in CC 2018)
3. Works fine in Overprint Preview
4. Works fine in Print & PDFPlease confirm above observation match with the problem reported in this issue

Pantone colors are printing blank when printing from Illustrator using Photoshop DSC.EPS
While trying to print artwork with spot colors from Adobe Illustrator the color in the 2nd channel will always print blank regardless of what print device or setting that is used. I have included the DSC EPS files as well as the AI files and the subsequent print of the file as a pdf. Whichever pantone color is placed in location 2 of the channels in Photoshop will print blank. This is a bug that has popped up since Pantone pulled it's colors from Adobe and the Pantone colors automatically are changed to black.

Tile printing cuts image off.
I have attempted to tile print an image from Illustrator at least 6 times. No matter what settings, it cuts off about 1/8-1/4" of the image. I have been tile printing for decades and now the feature doesn't work correctly. Please inquire. I'm extremely frustrated.

Unchecking "print as bitmap" does not work
Basic shape artwork is printing jagged/pixelated edges. Unchecking "print as bitmap" does nothing, as the print summary still shows print as bitmap as "on". Tried setting print to 2400dpi, but lines still jagged.
Save as PDF and print with Acrobat results in beautiful smooth lines

Print Area doesn't adjust according to Print Driver
Once you print and click on setup, then proceed to set your printer up for custom sizes the print area in the print dialog box doesn't change. In order to get it to match the artboard and what you have inputted into the printers driver, you have to click on setup again and print. This adjusts the print area but this extra step is a bug.

Printing problems with latest Illustrator
The latest version of Illustrator CC 22.1 will no longer print our label artwork. We are a commercial winery and have no previous issues printing these files. We are running Windows 10 64 version 1803 6/9/2018 OS build 17134.165.
As a work around, we tried printing these files from Acrobat DC which is included in our creative cloud package. The files print fine.
We are seeing a lot of people complaining that it is the Myriad Pro font but as I stated we can print the files from Acrobat DC but just not Illustrator.

Artifact lines appear in Illustrator on images with softmasks when Mac OS GPU setting ON (will render on Rip output if downsampled)
To Reproduce:
On Mac OS 12 open the .AI file from the attachment (NativeIllustratorFilesFRESH.zip) in Adobe Illustrator
Ignore the font warnings, but link the images (ignore links for any images not included in zip file)
See the screenshot (artifact.jpg), notice the artifact lines around many of the images
Now save this AI file as a PDF using the Adobe PDF Preset "Illustrator Default"
Open this PDF in Acrobat and ensure "Smooth Images" in Preferences is enabled
Notice the artifact
Now using Acrobats option "Save AS Opimtized" (and this is the most important part) downsample the images to 300 dpi in…3 votes -

New update on Illustrator 24.0.01 will not allow Print

Rasterize - Preserve Spot Color Bug
When rastering complex designs for print output, the default is "preserve spot color". I rasterize images and print a pdf file for use in rip software. If I leave "preserve spot color" selected I get a pdf file that is blank, if I turn it off and rasterize, I get the correct PDF file. This is new, as I have been doing this for many years now with no issues. I do believe in the past that check box has been left unchecked by default, but remains sticky.

Printer and settings won't stay selected
Every other update makes the default printer not stay saved and selected. I also use a custom setting to make the PDF shrink to fit and that does not stay selected either. With my job of designing proofs and sending them out, this makes a huge time waster to have to select the printer each time, click done and then click print again to get the printer settings to come up.

特定のデータで印刷ができない
あるデータで印刷をするとメーターが100％で止まってしまい、印刷ができません。
しばらく待ってもプリンターが反応せず困っております。（プリンターダイヤログにも表示されません。）これ以外のデータは正常に印刷可能です。
キャンセルを押すとフリーズしている様子もなく、普通に印刷キャンセルされます。
新規ドキュメントを作成し、コピー貼り付けしてみましたが、それも同じ症状です。データ自体は他に比べ極端に重いデータでもなさそうです。（41956KB）
また、他のPC環境でも試しましたがどのPCを使っても同じ症状で、
そのデータの中の一部パスデータをラスタライズしたり、データ自体をPDF化すると印刷が可能でした。
出来ればPDF化などせずに印刷をしたいです。
何か解決方法がございましたらご教示をお願いいたします。＜環境＞

Jaggy / Pixelated prints from Illustrator
Illustrator only produces pixelated / jaggy print-outs. This issue persists at least since 2008. I suspect a printing engine that is made for PostScript printers. I only use normal printers (laser and ink jet, large and small).
ALL other apps print fine on these machines / systems / printers. The same vector document printed from Ai is jaggy - printed from other apps looks fine. -See attachment:
