Print problem

Print problem

(OP)
Hello,
when i use the "Print" command in UG Nx3 the printed sheet background color is gray (should be white).
Someone else is having the same problem ?

Thank you

RE: Print problem

Don't you have check boxes for black lines only and print with white background?  If you do, make sure the boxes are checked and see if that gives you the results you want.

It sounds like you're printing in color when you should be printing in black and white.....that usually has nothing to do with NX, but your printer settings.

RE: Print problem

Even with the check boxes, NX is known to output a gray background. I have the same issue. The other issue is you can't really control the font widths when using print. One trick is out reduce the size of the screen window before printing. That will fix the thick lines you'll get (a known bug).

The best fix is to export to jpeg and print from a "printer friendly" application. Better yet, set up plotting.

RE: Print problem

OK, there have been a few users complain about this since you first posted your question.  It seems that if you change the background color for Windows that can affect the printed background color.  I'm not sure which setting you may need to change, so just make sure all of your Windows background colors are set to white.  So far, that is the only workaround that I've heard of that might work.
