50 % grey is printet in 100 % black

[RainerH]

Hello Publishers,

in a Publisher dokuemnt in RGB I've used 50 % black from the greyscale-panel. On the monitor an when I export the document to PDF I've the grey as grey but when I print the document directly on my good old HP Laserjet 2200 D the grey parts are printetd in black. I think there's only somthing set up wrong.

Please can somebody help me? Thank you in advane.

Genau dieses Ergebnis würde ich auf einem „alten guten HP Laserjet 2200 D“ erwarten. Einfachste Lösung: Weniger als 50% wählen.

Oder eine Tonwertkorrektur-Einstellungsebene. Den Gamma-Regler so lange verschieben, bis dir dein Laserdruck gefällt.

I would expect exactly this result on an "old good HP Laserjet 2200 D". Simplest solution: Choose less than 50%.

Or a tonal value correction setting level. Move the gamma slider until you like your laser print.

Edit: Mit einer Tonwertkorrektur-Einstellungsebene wird die ganze Seite beim Export gerastert. Keine so gute Idee.

Edit: With a tonal value correction setting layer the whole page is rasterized during export. Not such a good idea.

It's black not dark grey on the print. And why does InDesign on the same printer show grey and not black?

Do you mean the gray dots on page 3 for example? Printing on my ancient Kyocera Color Laser prints them in gray. What happens when you print a PDF from a PDF reader? I don't know the printer, is it using a Postscript or a PCL driver? I had some trouble a while ago with PCL drivers.

Hello Joachim_L,

thank you for your answer. Yes, the circles and dots on page 3. An yes I think it's a PCL-printerdriver. When creating a PDF in the PDF the grey objects are really grey only on the print it's black.

I'm testing it on an other printer.
