On the enclosed drwg. in the title block I have drawn the 5 logos in the title block. I drew these as wblocks then inserted them into the drwg. The client wants the colors on the logos to show up when printed so I plotted in acadlt.ctb as monochrome.ctb will not show the colours of the logos. When I plot, the title block comes out dark but everything on the drwg is very light. I can change the line weight and it makes no difference. This only seemed to happen when I inserted the ITC logo because the drwg plotted out fine when there was just the other 4 logo in the far right of the title block.
Prior to putting these hand drawn logos on I used bitmaps that don't show up when plotting a dwg. They are sent as separate files and then the client has to manually put them in which is not acceptable hence finally taking the time to draw each logo. When I plotted the drwg with the bitmaps everything was dark in the drwg and title block as should be. But now as soon as I bring in the new blocks and plot in acadlt.ctb everything changed and not for the better. I am so frustrated as to why this is happening.
I have sent a pdf and dwg file of the same project . Paper size is 11 x 17 when printed. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
you mentioned:
"..acadlt.ctb as monochrome.ctb ..."
I'd like to see if you set them up to plot in color or not.
By the way, your DWG is corrupt, I can't open it.
Hi,
I was able to open your drawing and have found, that all objects in Model space (which appears light in PDF output) have color assigned BYLAYER, but the color of Layers is 250, after I changed it to color 7 (white) - output become dark even when using acadlt.ctb.

If you want to use "monochrome" plot style table, but still have some objects in colour, change their colour to "True Colour" and slightly move the spinner - to make it something else than the standart 255 AutoCad colours.
