    I have three AutoCAD/OS configurations:

    1. Win2000 ACAD 2002
    2. WinXP ACAD 2002
    3. WinXP ACAD 2004

    The color plots to my DJ1055CM come out nearly identical for configs 1
    and 2 despite the different OS (The diffferences are tiny and not worth
    griping about).

    However the color output from config 3 is very noticeably different from
    configs 1 and 2 - colors are generally darker and solid colors have a
    sort of greenish/bluish dotted mask on top of them. As you can see,
    configs 1 and 2 use the same vesion of Acad with different OS and config
    2 and 3 share the same OS (XP) but are different versions of Acad.

    I have updated the driver (from 4.63 to 4.66) and matched all the
    printer property settings between my Win2000 and XP machines.
    None of this has made a difference with the color output in Acad 2004 on
    XP.

    BTW, I am using CTB's when plotting, not STB.

    Has anyone experienced similar behavior?

    Thanks,
