Drop shadow problem in Illustrator

[VelevDesign]

Hello people,
I have a problem with the drop shadow in illustrator, you can see here:

I have the GPU enabled.

Any ideas?

Disable GPU and see if you have it.

does it happen if you disable GPU? if you change raster effects settings? if your turn on/off anti-aliased artwork in preferences? do the joins stay the same as you zoom in/out? are they there if you save to PDF and view in Acrobat? or if you save to a raster format?

Try changing document raster effects setting up or down

Think it is under Effects

[VelevDesign]

disable GPU - still the same

turn on/off anti-aliased - still the same

stay the same as you zoom in/out - yes it is the same

save to PDF - still the same

save to PNG - still the same

Document Raster Effects Settings > Resolution > If a change to Medium (150 ppi) it seems to work:

But what about print? Am I ok to go with Medium (150 ppi) for the Raster Effects?

It will be print for a roll up banner 80x200 sm. What do you think?

[Doug A Roberts]

so it was at 300 ppi before?

at 80 x 200 cm, even 150 is overkill. you can comfortably get away with less.

This is very important information. So please do always post the size of the objects when asking this kind of question.

Most probably for drop shadows a resolution of 150 ppi will be fine.

Talk to the print service provider.

Yes, it was 300 pp, originally.

My bad, I didn't mentioned the size. Will take a note!!

So I guess I just ask the guys in the print studio if I can go with 150 or 72 and I am good to go. Thanks to all of you, people, you really helped.
