Oufti Posted July 30, 2023 Posted July 30, 2023 If the problem exists also when printing other files, check the black ink of your printer… Quote Affinity Suite 2.5 – Monterey 12.7.5 – MacBookPro 14" 2021 M1 Pro 16Go/1To I apologise for any approximations in my English. It is not my mother tongue.

That color panel looks very faded and soft to me, much as your printout showed. Note, in your printout, that it is not just the black that is wrong. The entire color spectrum is wrong in the image, compared to your original.

Joe1691 Posted July 30, 2023 Author Posted July 30, 2023 now I found the mistake ! When I printed it with settings : "glossy paper", the issue is already there. When I printed it with settings "normal paper", the lyrics are correctly black. I cannot understand this, but That´s it !!! Thank you , guy´s nickbatz 1 Quote

ALL LYRICS ARE BLACK If a Print-to-PDF result looks such different than a print on paper it seems to indicate that a culprit for the colour issue is caused within the printer. – What colours do you get if you print this resulted PDF on paper? – Or if you print on paper from an exported PDF of this layout? 2 minutes ago, Joe1691 said: When I printed it with settings : "glossy paper", the issue is already there.

Good to hear you get a wanted print now. – To detect the reason the answers to @walt.farrell's hint / questions might matter.

What paper type did you feed for the "glossy paper" setting? Note, the paper settings are meant to print with different ink amounts to balance different ink absorption of different paper types. That is why not only black is affected in your shown result but all colours. Nevertheless, it still does not explain the pale appearance in your Colours Panel below its sliders. So, your Affinity document's colour space + profile is interesting here, too.
