Not plotting in color

lbellino4 — Fri, 12 Apr 2024 15:23:17 GMT

Hello.

I have a border that we just replaced the logo only and all of the different border sizes I updated with this new logo, print in color just fine, except the one I've attached in this post. For some reason, it doesn't what to publish or plot in color, even when I have the Plot style table set to none, just like all my other drawings. Any idea or setting I need to try to get this to plot/publish in color? Below is how it looks in the pdf, vs. how it looks in the drawing. Thanks in advance.

Is this driver set to only output B/W by chance

Your file PLOTs to color just fine here otherwise

Ask your IT for assistance with that printer/plotter driver settings.

Run AUDIT yes

or better: Open the file by RECOVER command

run AUDIT yes

and

-PURGE

reg

-PURGE

all

Qsave

There are corruped data about the visual style, recover xor audit fix this.

To answer your question, this printer I have it going to is a color printer. But I will check with out IT person to find out what's going on with the drivers, if it's plotting in color for you. Thanks.

Thanks...I will try your suggestion to see if that works, as well.

That printer can have two separate drivers, one only dedicated to B/W output

I did do your suggestion first and it worked! But I'll still check with our IT person to make sure we have the most current drivers for our printers. Thanks for your help!
