JamesCanning Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 Hello, I am making a document made from 8x10 paper, double sided flipped long side, 6 pages. It's filled with text from a bunch of text I have saved as a .txt file. When I try to print it, every other page comes out light gray, the text contents are barely visible. Page 1 is ok but 3 and 5 are always gray. The rest are good. It was originally printing well. The last thing I changed before it "went bad" was to add light gray lines to the master near the margins to indicate where to put holes for hand threading. I have tried deleting these lines, it made no difference. The settings indicated some of the text boxes themselves had a light gray background, I changed this but again no apparent difference. I have checked the master for accidental background color, it was good. Help? James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staff stokerg Posted November 13, 2019 Staff Share Posted November 13, 2019 Hi JamesCanning, Can you attach the afpub file? Also if you Export the file to PDF, how does it look in your PDF viewer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesCanning Posted November 13, 2019 Author Share Posted November 13, 2019 Hello Stokerg, I tried printing the file as a PDF, the result does not show the grey. How do I attach my file as you asked? Also, I can't attach the original troublesome file, it's a list of all my passwords :-/. I will be trying a new file with other content today, let's see how that goes. Some other experiments too. I'll get right back. Thank you for your response. James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesCanning Posted November 13, 2019 Author Share Posted November 13, 2019 Hello, re greyed out pages. I have made a new document, 2 sided flip long letter, 2 columns per page. Everything new and careful. The columns were filled with filler text. The result again is that the odd numbered pages, at least 3 and 5, are printed grey. I'm attaching the file here, I hope this is helpful. Thank you for your help, people. Addendum: I reprinted the document named above. Page 3 is not grayed out this time, but has three odd areas of gray/black on it. Something is bunged up here! :-/ I scanned this page 3 and posted it here. Maybe twice. my apologies.

JamesCanning Posted November 14, 2019 Author Share Posted November 14, 2019 Hi and good morning from me, I have been able to eliminate the gray pages by being more careful re formatting and eliminating text spillover. That is, it was happening because of user errors! Thanks to whoever read this and tried to help, it's solved now. I think Affinity Publisher is great, especially considering its price. I could never afford nor be able to properly use the product made by your competitor :-) Thank you, James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
