old user needs answer/idea



Hello All... thought I'd give this a shot after 12+ years of usage with no
real idea what causes my problem. I work in the newspaper idustry and every
now and then, I get a dreaded black box in place of the photo or graphic eps
that is placed for output on the printout from my Laser printer. It isn't
apparent until printout-looks fine on screen. Switching printers doesn't do
the trick. Many times back-saving to 3.0 and resaving a new eps helps-but
not always. Size seems to matter most, ALL the photos used in paper are
never more than 72 dpi... (they look great in the news world)... but we
still sometimes end up fighting the dreaded black box. Is this a memory
issue? A version issue? It has happened all the way from Mac System 6 thru
9.2.2, Photoshop LE thru 6, and Apple Laserwriters, GCC Elite XL's, and now
Xante AccelarWriter page printers....
Opinions????
