I'm loving the new Finale. I'm running it on OS X El Capitan, and it's so much faster and more efficient than Finale 2014.5. Only a couple quibbles with it though. One of them being pretty major for someone like me who creates and prints music so often:

Anything printed from the new Finale, even if exported to PDF – PDFs which, incidentally, look as good as if they were created with Finale 2014.5 – looks like it was printed on denim. I can print the same document in Finale 2014.5 and it looks clean and professional, but for some reason, Finale 25 just prints horribly. Anyone else experiencing this? I've tried messing with DPI, etc. and nothing helps. What do I do? This is a pretty big problem for me!!

That's a good way of describing how it looks! Here's the salient information:

I discovered that in the print dialog Color Matching was set to ColorSync. I changed this to the other setting, 'in printer' and now the printout is as it should be. Strange that ColorSync has been selected in the Finale print dialogs for as long as I can remember (also in 2014.5) and it has never caused this problem. I wonder if many other users are having problems with this. It is something people could easily overlook, or blame on the printer.

Unfortunately, ColorSync isn't selected, and hasn't been, and I still have the problem. :-/
