MicroStMation V8i, Printing background too dark., Thanks JB

When printing a framing plan, the background (foundation plan) comes through too dark.

This seems to be an anomaly for I have followed all previous steps without the same outcome.

I do have the print fenced inside a Title Block. In the "view attributes" I have "Level Overrides" 

selected. The print attributes or general settings i have selected "greyscale" opposed to 'true color'

and 'monochrome' (monochrome, the background is even darker). The foundation plan

(thats coming thru too dark) is actually a copy from a reference (wouldn't think that would make

a difference). Any Suggestion Will Be Greatly Appreciated. Thank You, JB

  • This really should be posted to the printing  forum  but never mind

    What version of mstn are you using, are you using sheet models or just  modelspace?

    can you supply a small dgn example.. what work flow is your printing ie msnt to pdf.pltcfg  pdf to paper or just view pdf on screen

    when you say overrides are you applying a specific colour override through the level manager?

    I print dialog settings have you enabled to allow overrides  or are you just telling the print to make everything grey scale?

    Do you use a pentable to resymbolise the colours and  lineweights on plans?

    There are a lot of factors that affect the outcome...

  • I  apologise for for incorrect location, Thank you for pointing out. I was actually able to correct my issue through the "level manager." Thank you very very much for your help and input. JB 

  • the custom is to detail exactly how you fixed the problem yourself as it may help others in the future searches for similar issues
