PLOTTER ISSUE

Hi, Can anyone please tell me why, when I plot to 2 different printers the drawing entities come out darker on one printer than the other. the printers are SAVIN C9020 and Kyocera CS 4052ci V4 KX (PCL6). The prints are lighter on the SAVIN printer. I am using the same CTB files. Thanks

Plotter settings, not AutoCAD.

Your issue has to do with settings on the plotters, not with AutoCAD.

Two different devices create two different output: that's very common. You'll need to expend a lot more effort to creating settings (CTB/STB or...) unique to each device that result in the same exact output.

That's the problem: see above.
