Assets I use for hundreds of documents in my CC library not printing correctly
Some files the library file is fine, but recently the certain asset is not printing correctly, it is pixelated and colors are wrong. How is this fixed without going through hundreds of print files to reinsert this asset into all of the files so it prints perfect? Its used at the same scale everytime. Has to be saved the same way every time bc of the printer demands. It's just not behaving the same way each document. In the pictures one printed correctly, and the other file did not.

Ah, OK, didn’t know it. This makes it more strange, but still it can be caused by a hardware problem... the RIP could have failed for some reason — that’s why I asked about the format you were using. Do you save a PDF? What settings do you set when you do?
What Ai build do you use and when did you notice the problem? I understand that testing this can be hard, but can you downgrade and see if the older Ai version results the same problem?
Also — can you please share the test file that definitely results in an error with the team?
If it’s OK, please send it all to sharewithai@adobe.com, with a link to this report for tracking purposes (http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/48296102). -
Egor,
All of the other elements in the design printed fine. The library assets are the things that did not print well. Thus, eliminating a printer/printhead issue.

Monica, I personally think that it’s not a problem with assets at all, something else changed.
'Pixelated' — these are not pixels, this are ink droplets the printing head makes. It’s definitely a printer’s problem. Miscalibration, clogged nozzles, roller misalignment... but hardly an artwork!Different colors — again, this is most probably a color management problem on the printer’s side. Perhaps they changed inks? Printing head? Material? Operator? Temperature in the shop? Any of these factor can result in a result like this.
Still — how do you prepare the materials for printing? Which format, resolution, size? Color profile?
