Printed grey is suddenly too dark…


Recommended Posts

Hello! I’m a teacher and I’m using Publisher to create worksheets on my MacBook Air M1. 
It works like a charm. I created several worksheets with light grey lines for my students to write on. 
this worked till today. When I printed my newest sheet the grey was very dark, almost black. I thought it was because of the new toner so I printed a printer test sheet by the printer software and everything was fine. 
So I made a pdf in Publisher and still, too dark grey tones. 
so I opened Apple Pages and everything was fine…

I changed the color setting of my project  in Publisher to CMYK and suddenly the grey of the print was good. 
the thing I don’t understand: my printer, a brother color laser printer, has a srgb profile. And it handled the conversion fine with 3 other worksheets I have created before on Publisher. But it has problems with the newest. All worksheets are copies of the first one. All of them have srgb in the document settings. 
So… why?

Hi, are you still experiencing this issue with 2.0.4?

I think it would be easier to understand if you could share two documents, one that prints correctly and one that prints too dark. We wouldn't need to see the entire documents, just a bit of them, so you could delete anything you don't want to share.

Cheers
