Thank you, I did know it was extremely fine but I had already printed with that stroke many times and it always came out nice and thin... I am now going to try printing at home a drawing with 0.01pt and 0.1pt lines to see if the problem is with the file, and then going up to the same shop I have always printed from to print the same file, I will attach pictures

THank you very much for the detailed answer and list of possible solutons. I am sorry for my late reply but I haven't got much time lately! As for your 1-8 list, i have tried the first two already and received no positive results, therefore I am planning on going on down your list and come back to you if something was to work! I hope i do find a solution, even if I have to uninstall the program and start for scratch because Illy is vital for my university work

They send them to print from Adobe Acrobat, and the plotters are either Epson, Canon or HP What I do not understand is how my flatmate will print a different file with the exact same lineweights in the same shop and her file prints just fine: this is why I have started to think the problem must come from my files or even my version of Illustrator itself But if you say it is not possible to resolve my issue I will try to work around it, thank you, I hope resetting Illustrator preferences or even unsintalling it and installing it again might help

I have tried asking them but unfortunately they do not seem to know what could cause the problem I have also been printing in different shops over the years and they were all able to print such thin lines, but lately no one seem able to print them anymore! I even tried printing at home, with a thicker line weight (around 0.01 and 0.03) and they still came out way thicker than expected, so I am left guessing the problem must be with my files and not with the printers...

Thank you for the advice, I have tried doing as you suggested but no window asking me to delete the settings appeared. However my recent files are not showing up on the initial page anymore and Illustrator looks as though it had been resetted. I shall try opneing a file and printing it again

I have always printed from the same shop and they have never failed. Also I usually have the need to rpint larger formats which come out from plotters and therefore have an higher printing quality

I have recently encountered a problem when working with illustrator: I used to work with very thin lines (0.001 pt) and they would show on pdf and print just fine, but lately they appear way too thick when on pdf (which I solved by deactivating the enhance thin lines option on Acrobat) but still they appear too thick when printed. 0.001pt looks like a 0.5pt for comparison. I have tried reading into discussions but for everyone else the problem seems to go away once the file is physically printed. I am running the latest version of Illustrator, 2019, same with Acrobat... I usually import AutoCAD files, and the cad version is the student version for 2018. Attached you will find a screenshot of how the file looks on Illustrator and then what it looks like on pdf and therefore printed. Note that the problem started all of a sudden, never had this kind of problem until a month ago
