    Here is the problem:
    When I print preview my drawing with a black background, only the yellow colored lines show up; when I preview with a white background, everything EXCEPT the yellow lines show up. When I actually print, though, everything turns out fine. In our office, each color has a specific lineweight, so I changed a couple of the yellow lines to a different color but maintained the yellow lineweight, and they showed up in the previews, so I know that it is not the lineweight that is the problem. Anybody run into the same problem or have some insight?

    Try using color 8 as a background color.
    It's not as 'hard' as a black background and not so shining as a white one.
    All colors come out quite good (crosshairs become black).
    Works for both model and paper.
