When I print a hatch with transparency, I get a strange output that looks like mesh facet edges.
This is only the case if the hatch is non-rectilinear (i.e. trimmed to a curve) and when the printer output is set to vector.
I had a similar issue with Rhino 6 when printing trimmed pictures, that was later fixed. Not sure if there are any connections between the two.
When I print a trimmed picture from the Model space with vector output selected, I get a mask overlaid on images that were trimmed with a circle or a curve. There are no issues with pictures that were trimmed using a rectangle.
If I print from Layouts view, the problem occurs not only in vector printing mode but also in raster.
I found the ticket RH-34639 seems to deal with this problem. But it is marked as Obsolete, even though the problem persists.
I also tested different image formats, but…

Thank you for looking into this.
Hi, I have had the same problem too. I can faintly see it even with non-transparent solid hatches.
Would love this to be fixed b/c transparent hatches were one of the reasons i upgraded to Rhino7.
