Problem with plot consistency
Problem with plot consistency
(OP)
We have an HP 750C+, and two CAD stations both running AutoCAD 2004. We recently started having a problem with the plots from both computers matching in light weights. One computer prints the drawings much lighter than the other. Both computers are using the same line weights (I went through and compared both, I even deleted the ctb off the computer that is printing too light and copied the one off of the correct computer). Does anyone know what would cause this? This only started happening within the last couple of weeks. I don't know what else would affect the plot.
Thanks in advance.
Thanks in advance.

Layer 0 is set to pen # 7.
Really I am having problems with the background colors. I am using color #251 as my background. One of the PC's looks fine, but the other prints it so light you can hardly see it. Everything that is 7(black) looks the same. I don't understand it.

Thanks so much for the info. Unfortunately that didn't fix it. I don't think it is a variable in the drawing since it prints fine from one computer but not the other. Do you know of a system variable that could have been inadvertantly changed on one machine, and not the other?

I also just downloaded the latest drivers from HP and installed them again.

Unfortunately that didn't correct the problem. I think I may just completely uninstall AutoCAD and delete any files that the uninstall doesn't, and reinstall.
I will post my results later today.
RE: Problem with plot consistency
The reinstall didn't correct it. I have come to the conclusion that it may not be an AutoCAD issue at all.
If anyone has any more ideas I would greatly appreciate them.
Thank you
