AC 10: wall composites Print OK, but Plot solid black

[Ignacio Azpiazu]

In AC10, wall composites are printing OK, but Plot solid black.

What would be the problem here? It didn't happen in 9. Is there a need for updating drivers, plotters that will just not work, PostScript issues, or something like that? It is an Oce TDS600, the driver is called 'Oce TDS600 PS'.

Thank you for all the replies and information!

I did what Matthew suggested and all is working. You still have to use a greyscale pen for the background (not the default setting) to make things work properly. I do recall that others have changed pens to black in plotmaker in the past.

I (like most people) have a tendency to just do things as always until there is a problem. It may be that this change is documented, but it sure would have saved alot of time if I knew a few days ago.

Another option would be to buy a new plotter/printer.........!

Hello,

Another "easy" way to solve this "problem" is to change the "bitmap" appearance of the fill by switching a pixel from black to white or black to white in Fill settings and… that works… for all the Fill that have the same bitmap appearance than 25%, 50% or 75%…
