Sheet format in pdf

Sheet format in pdf

Sheet format in pdf

(OP)
If I send a drawing to our printer, all the lines come out black. However, if I convert the drawng to pdf and print it, the sheet format lines are very light and some text, like chamfers, is light. The object and dimensions appear correctly. I am using default templates with some small changes.

Is there a setting somewhere that will make all items print black? Otherwise all I can think of doing is to open each format and manually change all the lines to black. Most of the format outlines appear light when working on the drawing.

Thanks

RE: Sheet format in pdf

The PDF output is in "color" amd your printer is greyscaling, select options before saving as PDF and uncheck the "Export PDF in Color" box.
