2007 plotting trouble

2007 plotting trouble

2007 plotting trouble

(OP)
Hi all,
Can't get the printer, Ricoh 1027 (B/W) to print yellow anything but grayish. Tried everything, but not the right thing. I believe I've had the same problem on R14 some years ago, but I can't remember the fix. All other colors print black.
Anyone had the same problem?

Set plot style to monochrome?

Tried that many times. I think there is a bug either in the software or on my side of the screen...

RE: 2007 plotting trouble

I think what Borgunit was referring to is
that maybe you have set the print to
monochrome which would print everything in
black or shades of grey.  You have to
assign the pen colors and styles and widths
in some setup if 2007 is similar to the past
versions.

Thanks. I think I have tried that too, but it sort of rings a bell... I had the same problem years ago in R14, maybe I solved it along those lines...
ACad still has some basic things not taken care of or made easy it seems.

RE: 2007 plotting trouble

I found the problem. I'm plotting from Model Space, and if you are in anything but "2D Wireframe" view mode, the plotting is with grayscales despite all efforts with CTB-files. Thanks anyway for your input.
