Postscript Printer Is Printing Blank Pages

Most true Postscript Printers such as the Xerox line of printers that use "Adobe PS" chips have no trouble printing separations, but others such as Xante Screenwriters and PS emulation printers such as HP, NewGen and GCC can print blank pages. These prints handle ASCII data better than universal Binary so a quick file conversion is needed.

Tip: When looking for a laser printer to work with your PS graphics applications remember that Adobe owns that language so purchase a printer that has Adobe chips and not a printer with PS Emulation (3rd party) chips. They may be great for general office use, but not for graphics.

Resolve: Open your SPVR DCS2.eps file in Photoshop and perform a "Save As...".

1. Choose DCS2 as the format and spot colors. Click Save
2. In the DCS 2.0 Format window choose. Preview: Tiff (8 bits/pixel), DSC: Single File with Color Composite (72 pixel/inch), Encoding: ASCII
3. Leave all other options unchecked and click OK
4. Now re-import (Place) the file into your Illustration or Publishing program and print your separations. All films print properly now. Please note that some Mac users may still see a very pixelated preview when they re-import due to this conversion but the separations will print clean.
