Thanks guys, @Dazmondo77 That worked a treat, Thank you so much for taking the time to record a video for me. I can't describe how thankful I am. You're my hero for the year 2020!!!!!! @BofG Thanks for that link, some very helpful information in there for me. Thanks for taking the time to respond. @Fixx Thanks for taking the time to reply to. Guys thanks so so much.

Hi Guys, Forgive my lack of understanding here, this is all new to me. I've just finished writing my book on guitar lessons for total beginners in Affinity Publisher. I've had a run of 160 copies printed. The pages like most music books are black ink on a white page. As there are many photos in the book I converted them all to black and white. I'm lucky my friend runs the printing business that printed my book. The first copy he ran off as a proof all the images printed very faded, same thing happens on my mono laser printer at home too. He said the print file I sent him had 8 colours of black in it. So he had to go through each page and change it to one, which is what the professional digital printers use. I want to upload to Amazon KPD for sale there where they print copies to order. I assume they use the same digital printers. I've tried using all these different combinations Colour Format Gray 8 - Colour Profile Grayscale D50 Colour Format Gray 8 - Colour Profile Generic Gray Profile Colour Format Gray 8 - Colour Profile Generic Gray Gamma Profile 2.2 Same issue with all of them, I understand I can install different Colour Profiles???? My friend changed everything in Pre Flight, I think it was adobe Illustrator. ATTACHED: 2 examples of what I exported and a photo of what the printed version looks like using above settings. Also photo of the same page from my book which my firend changed to one colour black (in adobe Illustrator I think) So in short, what colour format/profile do I need to use to send my book to a professional printer (Amazon) that they can print it in black and white???? Sorry for my lack of understanding, ask me anything you want about guitar playing or music theory, but at a total loss here Thanks in advance guys Clem Gamma Guitar for the Outright Beginner RASTAD A4 B&W.pdf test 1 Guitar for the Outright Beginner RASTAD A4 B&W.pdf

Wow, guys well impressed with the speed of the responses. Thanks so much. @walt.farrell you solution put the whole text box and that angle, which is handy to know, but affected all the text and moved some off the page. @Wosven This is the perfect solution, as I can highlight the words I need in Italics @markw You're correct, having looked at the font book I can see Chalkboard doesn't have a default Italic The other apps obvious have a way of applying Italics to any font. This would be a great feature to have without using workarounds. I understand there's probably a quality issue for print, but if there was an option box in the preferences to 'force italic fonts' maybe with a note/warning about the quality for print (if that's a thing) would be a great feature. I'm new to this whole, writing my first book (a guitar lesson book) loving Affinity Publisher and all the resources on the website. Again thank you Walt, Wosven and Mark (I'll send you a free copy of the book, if you want to learn the guitar) 😀😀

Hi Guys, There is no italic option for the Chalkbord Font, I use many other apps that use that font, Guitar Pro 7, Open Office, Libre Office, Sibelius, Musescore, Pixelmator, Pixelmator Pro, In all those apps the option is there. So the font must be on my Mac, Just checked Affinity Photo, it's not available there either. Thanks Clem
