Mark, if you still don't have an answer to your problem, call me. On a cursory level it sounds like you have run out of room on your computer so Onyx is unable to complete the processing. it gets the page info, hence the paper feeding out afterwards, but stops when it hits the wall processing. Clean all the temp fgiles of, delete any out dated files fromt eh Onyx files folder or move the working folder to a drive with more room. I have seen the many times. it could be a bug in the software, but I doubt it. Onyx is usually pretty stable. If you have placed eps files one of these may be corrupt. Typically that flag is a long processingn time and a print with everything good, except for that area around the placed file
Secondly, the res of the file shouldn't affect ink levels i.e flooding as you describe, something is off obviously but cant re fixed without more info. The advise to reload your software is a good one, given you have enough free space on your drive to process the files to begin with. You could save as a pdf and run that through as well , but generally printing from Illustrator produces the cleanest colors. Your images do not need to be over 150dpi HP's algorithm requries basically 4 dots to make a pixel , so 150x4=600dpi Even at the600x1200 mode, 150 is all that is needed. Hope that offers some direction, if not, call. I'll try and help as best I can. -- Peter Inshaw president Plotter Pros, Inc 1068 The Alameda Suite 100 San Jose, CA 95126 408.299.0680 x12 408.299.0676 fax 408.930.8040 mobile www.PlotterPros.com
