hatch transparent on plot

[archsol2022]

Hello,

I am facing a problem with autocad plotting, i have a plan with multiple hatches, set with various transparencies.
If I create a PDF (using DWG to PDF.pc3) with 'plot transparency' checked, the PDF looks fine, but when i try to print it some part of hatches missing and some lines also.

 

Thanks you

What does the DWG or PDF content look like? Showing us the paper result alone is not as informative sadly.

If the transparencies look fine on the pdf but shows missing items on the hardcopy then this sounds like your plotter problem. Do you have a different plotter to send the same pdf file to as a test?

Thank you for the PDF. Your missing very faint-colored door/window frames print just fine (and faint) on our color laser printer, our B/W laser printer, and our color Plotter. There is nothing wrong with your PDF output here, sorry.

Hello again, i am using Adobe Acrobat DC

time to try using a different pdf viewer to see if you're successful in printing those pdfs.

Hi again, what do you suggest to do? I tried converting it to an image to see if there was any difference and I can say that it was somehow better. Does it make any sense that when I converted it to an image it had a better resolution when printed?

Change the color/pen assignments to the vanishing elements to a heavier lineweight to see if your various plotter can cope better.

If you want, you can also share your actual DWG file here please: lets understand your vanishing elements settings better.

i think i have the solution from a previous answer, i changed the pdf viewer from Acrobat to microsoft edge and i have to say is way better than previous. some spots is not perfect but its acceptable
