Printing colors too light

Anonymous

Hello,

I'm trying to print my drawings at home but no matter the plot I choose, all the drawings are printing the same. Everything is too light. It's not my printer, my cartridge are new. I know yellow is a pale color but it should still appear on the print version. Now it's all blank space. How can I fix this? 

 

Also when I select preview in PDF, it show me the drawing in color instead of black, grey and white. Is there any option I can select to mek it as if it was the print of the drawing?

 

I've put some screenshot of the model and a photo of a print.

 

I need an answer fast if possible.

 

Thank you.

Hi,

 

If you need to print in grayscale, than you can adjust page setup in AutoCAD instead of doing this in printer software (I think you set grayscale printing options in printer settings now).
So you need to pick Page Setup button on Layout visor:

Than select Grayscale plot style table from Plot Style Table Name dropdown list:

Also leave "Print with plot styles" checked.

Disable grayscale printing option for your printer in Print dialog before printing (if you enabled this option before).

 

Try to plot.
