Low Print Quality from Adobe Illustrator & Photoshop

[CathFin]

I'm printing documents from Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop & Acrobat and they are producing very low quality printing. There is banding and on all of the copies and the Illustrator run is very light grey.

I've printed the same document from TextEdit and all of the colours print perfectly from this application.

Can anyone help please?

Thanks

I'm having a similar problem - poor quality vector art from Adobe Illustrator  that prints with broad horizontal bands that makes black lines look dashed. I'm using an Envy Inspire 7200 series home printer. It's an odd collection of symptoms. In one of the files, I placed some "graph paper" from a downloaded pdf on the bottom layer and created a simple line drawing on the top layer. The graph paper prints fine, but the line drawing is poor. Under close inspection, in the bands of poor print, I can make out thin outlines of lines and type but they are not filled in with color as they are supposed to. As a test, I printed an Illustrator drawing I created a month ago and it prints fine. The problem seems to only affect the drawings I created today. I had to make an evening trip to my office to print today's files on the company's Xerox printer, which printed everything perfectly.
