PDF print color still broken

Hi, we are still not able to print so surface colors are right in V6:

As displayed (Print Preview on):

As printed (Rhino PDF):

I was working with Mary Fugier on this a month ago; she might have sample files on this problem.

We’d like to be able to print our drawings again!

@stevebaer Did you see this?

I’m getting color here:

@John_Brock you are probably seeing the correct results because you are using a 6.7 build of the day.

@eej I just fixed several print color related bugs just this week. I also fixed a print weight bug report that Mary worked with you on today. It would be good to get you our next daily build to see if all of these issues are now fixed. That will probably have to wait until tomorrow since it takes several hours to generate a daily build and I only made the print weight fix a couple hours ago.

@stevebaer
I’m running a 6.6 build from Sunday.

@eej are you running 6.6?

Hi guys, please refer to Mary’s notes on this, I went through all the particulars with her on a private channel.

Thanks,

Eric

OK I’ll download tomorrow. Out of the office at the moment.

Thanks
Eric

Hi,

I downloaded 6.6.18168.12081, I still see the printing issue. Here is a screen shot of a Layout displayed in Print Preview mode which looks correct and the print dialog showing the lack of color on surfaces when Output Color is set to Print Color.

Thanks,
Eric

I see this when the detail is set to Ghosted.

Sorry, I was hoping to only make you try and download one install of Rhino as I knew that 6.6 didn’t have all of the recent print fixes that I’ve made. I’m still unsure if this specific bug is fixed yet, but I know for a fact that some print bugs that you have recently reported have been fixed in this build.

Here is a link to a daily 6.7 build. We will start shipping 6.7 release candidates next week (that’s when the 6.6 service release will be finalized)

Works over here in 6.7.18171.4521, 6/20/2018 if set to display color.

Sam

That’s great; thanks for letting me know.

Hi Steve,

Printing using Print Color is still broken for me using the daily build 6.7.18171.4521, 6/20/2018. It makes no difference if the detail is Ghosted or Shaded.

Eric

Hi,

Any news on this printing bug? I think we are going to have to revert to V5 if we can’t figure out how to get V6 to print correctly. Is anyone else seeing this problem?

Eric

Hey Eric,
Sorry, I’m still working on this issue. It is at the top of my list and I’m hoping to have it fixed in 6.7

I’m assuming you are always getting some black and white image when you really expect colors. @mary can you help me pin down the exact YT issue that you created while working with Eric? I have some similar issues, but I want to make sure I’m looking at the exact same bug report that Eric reported.

Hi Steve,

Yes, I just want surfaces to print the way they look when Print Preview mode is turned on.

Thanks,
Eric

I’m sure you’ve already done this and I’m sorry for asking again, but it may just make everything simpler. I know Mary is doing some training this week so she may not see this right away.

If you can just send me a quick sample that illustrates the print preview mode showing color while the print output showing black and white, I can probably fix this pretty quick. You can just send it directly to steve@mcneel.com if you don’t want the model shared.

@mary found the issue for me (thanks Mary)
