Mac OS X 10.4.1: Distorted prints from Preview.app caused by ColorSync changes
MacFixIt reader Stephen reports that print output from Preview.app was distorted after upgrading to Mac OS X 10.4.1 -- an issue solved by changing ColorSync settings.
Stephen writes:
"After updating to Mac OS X 10.4.1, certain PDFs printed from Preview were distorted. Namely, I have some PDFs automatically created from FileMaker and anything with any shading or lines behind the rows printed very dark and illegibly. I confirmed this on two computers I updated to 10.4.1, but my coworkers running straight 10.4 could print the same files just fine. Moreover, Acrobat would also print the files fine.
"As it turns out, I tracked the issue down to ColorSync. In the colorsync settings in the print dialog box, I changed the 'color conversion' setting to 'in printer' and the issue went away."
