Hi!
I have colour troubles when printing a pdf created from illustrator from an .ai file.
When printing directly from illustrator as .ai file, colours from printer match screen colours
When printing the pdf with Apple's Preview, colours from printer don't match screen colours. Colours on screen are OK, print colours are totally different (yellows are printed pink, browns printed blue and pinks printed orange).
When I open the same pdf with photoshop and print from there, colours in print output are fine.
One solution is to rasterise the file in Illustrator before saving as pdf, than the colours when printed with Preview are fine.
But: there must be a better way to save pdf's that will print good colours when saving in Illustrator. Anyone knows what I'm doing wrong?
Also, the soft proof is disabled in Preview, so I can't check the colours for sure, without printing, and that's costing a lot of wasted paper. Anyone know how I can soft proof the pdf's created in illustrator in another way?
Thanks!
