I need some major help asap. I have a drawing that I need to print out and im using autocad lt 2010. this normally doesn't happen to me, but when I print the drawing, its coming out lighter than what it is on the screen. the ink is all good in the printer so I assume its an autocad problem. I set all the colors I need to, but when printed is coming out much lighter than what it needs to be. can anybody help me?

Not much anyone can do without an understanding of your PLOT settings, if you use a plot style table, and how those pends are assigned.
Screenshots and actual files is a good place to start: and explain what is different today in your 9+year software or settings or devices that broke it all.

well my plot settings is always the same. I think It may have to do something with the color settings. and im not sure what you mean by pends assigned. if you look at the picture file, that is a picture of the drawing im doing, its a floor plan. notice how the building is gray, a light gray, even tho on my computer I have them set to its original layer, black. attached is a pdf of it as well. all my other files print normally except this one, and im not sure whats causing it to do this.

PENS
Are you using STB or CTB plot style settings?
CTB plot style settings ignore true colors (RGB and CMYK), could that be those colors you show in your screenshots? CTBs only deal with ACI colors 1-255 and nothing else.
Or you are using the wrong Plot Style Table in this one instance where it does not work.

how do i determine which of those plot style settings are? ive never heard of those before
06-05-2019 05:26 AM
ok, I see where that is now. just from going from some of the drawings ive done, I had that selection set as none. ive never messed with that area before, so this has been on this setting on all my drawings, including the one im having problems with. im kinda leaning towards that may not be the issue, but then again I don't know. is there another setting that could possibly change this?

A choice of NONE tells AutoCAD you do not wish to have any overrides, so your other methods of assigning lineweights have to be correct nd you need to ensure all objects (and content inside blocks) are set to color 7 (black) for black output.
Post a screenshot of your PLOT command pop-up as well as a screenshot of your LAYER command pop-up when you get a chance.
TIA

I believe these are what your looking for correct?
06-05-2019 08:04 AM
Did you buy a new plotter? Or install new plotter drivers?
You have AutoCAD set to defer to your plotter for lineweights with all of these 0.0 settings
BTW, since you do not use plot style tables you can uncheck this button

No, I actually work at a company which is how im creating these drawings. I didn't change any plotter drivers, nor know how to even do that, but the plotter has been with the company for a long time. this is the first time its given me this problem.

INSERT the EXPLODE this problem DWG file into a new problem free template file, recreate any/all layouts, and test it all again. First confirm the problem does not exist in that template file.

I did create a separate file and copied and pasted everything onto the new file. its still doing the same thing, however it is slightly better. most of the colored items on the drawing show up fine, however when I print, the building is supposed to be black for the most part, but it is still coming out grey. its a darker gray than what it was before, but its not show 100 percent black like its supposed to
