Everyone,
I have a MPC5000 with Postscript in an account that is using Adobe InDesign to create newsletters and press releases.
The problem we are having is that when they print the newsletter using the PS driver, the photos come out dark and are not of good quality. The text however looks great.
Here is the strange part to me; When they print the same newsletter using the PCL driver, the photos look great but the text is fuzzy.
I believe that the text looks funny due to the incorrect fonts downloading with the PCL driver but why do the photos look great?
Shouldn't the PS driver be the best for this application?
Also on the PS printed newsletter the blue and cyan colors look almost purple as compared to the correct blue using the PCL driver.
Anything to look for here that you can think of?
I have other MPC5000 units printing from In Design and the output looks fabulous.
Again, Please help!
John

Hi there...Have you tried callibrating the machine- or perhaps a Fiery is needed in his environment. I would also not print from PCL on any Ricoh colour device, but rather the unique RPCS printer driver that Ricoh have on their units. It spools quicker/ quality superior too. Hope this helps.
