Plotting all black page

[bdohm]

Not sure if this is an AutoCAD problem or not but it only occurs when printing from AutoCAD

When plotting from AutoCAD the plotter works fine for a portion of the page but then starts printing the entire page solid black. When I first create a pdf of my page and then plot the pdf everything works fine leading me to think it might be a AutoCAD problem.

any ideas?

half of your page starts printing in black? like there is a defined line on
the page where this starts, or does a portion of your file (xref, another
part, a section, an insert etc.) starts plotting in black because it is set
to do so by your plot styles selection?

after plotting fine for a portion of the drawing the entire page goes solid black from margin to margin

Your plotter is the problem, AutoCAD has no such feature or ability to just
start plotting half a sheet black, or anything else, unless you set it to do
so with your plot styles selections.

What are you plotting to and using what driver? and when was it last
serviced?
is the problem unique to one file?

Is the color portion perhaps an image file?

Did you ever figure this out? We are having the same problem. One drawing prints all black on two different printers. We are able to print the drawing to PDF and then print to the plotter and it is OK. Ideas?

(yes, this is a very old thread).

Post your drawing for others to have a look.

Are all your printer drivers up to date?

Post a screenshot of your entire PLOT pop-up.
