Washishu, I'm sorry I was unclear. I would not compare a paper copy with an electronic copy. I am looking at two things (both electronic copies) side by side on my screen : 1)what I have exported sent to my printer alongside 2) the proof he sends me to approve. Even on my screen, side by side, his black is blacker and white is whiter. Any other thoughts?

Yeah I get that about paper. My PDF and his proof is what I'm comparing. His white is actually whiter (electronically and comparing side by side on my screen). I feel like that has to be a setting thing. I'll keep hunting. Thanks for input.

Thank you BofG. Is there any other suggestions? I tried that and my white is still not as bright as the printers proof. He has more contrast. Black is blacker and white is whiter. I'm stumped. He's been changing it in the proof but rightly, would like to not have to do that.

I do a simple layout of a newsletter. It's all black and white. But the printer said that I need to change the text to black. It's black on the color swatch. What else should I do?
