[QUOTE="RockitRon, post: 210758, member: 10849"] It may be an RBG/CMYK problem. All color printers print in CMYK, because those are the 4 colors (I know they have expanded it in some inkjets but it is still basically CMYK. Now , If you make your page setup in RGB, what is black will be RGB black. If the black was set up in CMYK you can make it 100% black and nothing else. However RGB black is basically 100% of R, G & B. Most CMYK printers interpret that as something like 90%Black, 78% Cyan, 72% Mag, 69% Yel. When it prints, it is a flooded mess. Especially if you are using a Postscript enabled printer. Those are expecting CMYK file data. If you are using some awful program like WORD, Word is an RGB program. I don't know if new versions allow you to make the colors in CMYK Format. IF you are making something in Photoshop, CorelDraw, InDesign, Illustrator, Quark.... you of course have the option of working in CMYK because they are professional page setting programs. I think Publisher may have the option at this point. But that could be a problem, Also photos in RGB may print awful on a CMYK printer, but if you take that same photo convert its mode to CMYK in Photoshop and put it back in your document, it will print great. Some printers have an RBG mode which can alleviate the problem, But you would have to look for that in your printer software. - - -RockitRon [/QUOTE]
