    I have a HP Laser printer, and when I bring up a previous drawing that
    I completed with AC ver 12, and send it to the printer, the dimensions
    print ok but the object lines in the drawing print out very light. I
    can't hardly see them. I need to mention that I'm using AC2006. Thank
    you if you can help.

    First, are you using a color dependent plot parameters. If you are then you
    need to make sure that the lineweight and color settings are where you want
    them, otherwise the lines not spec. in the .ctb will appear monochrome while
    your other lines appear good.

    I had the same problem with old drawings these were alwys light grey and not
    nice sharp black on paper after printing (plot).

    The command "CONVERTPSTYLES" switch between the different plot styles STB
    and CTB after switching the plot settings the plinting is perfect. (watch
    the plot settings in the window select the right CTB file with your pen
    settings

    PLZ let me know if this worked for you



    You previous drawing is made with an slb
