I think AI defaults to 72dpi to help the program run better. If all objects in the file were all at 300dpi during the creation process the project would get really large really quick. Thats just my guess.

When i place (i think its place and not drag and drop) an image (gif usually) AI seems to make the transparent part of the image cause whatever is under it to get lighter by a shade or 2. on top of that if I’m printing on a white background the “transparent” part makes the (white) background become a little bit darker/creamier whatever.

Have you had that problem/know of a fix. many of my amigos in architecture school have had this problem on different printers (large and small format) and on different computers. (it looks great on the screen though!)

Thanks, I’ve always wondered how to fix that! I knew basically that you needed to turn it up to 300ppi - but didn’t explore the how/where. Fantastic!

Great, helpful site.

This is nice, though this is simple I’ll try to use this later. Thanks for this tutorial.

I had this effect a client once when they went to print their business cards. Needless to say it won’t happen again. Its good your pointing this out it might save someone some time and printing costs. Thanks.
