Question

Yellow items to faint to read when printing to Microsoft printer

Whenever a user prints to a Microsoft printer, Pro/E sends the image in color.
Unfortunately, when a drawing (which has lots of yellow dimensions & notes) is printed to a black & white laser printer, all the yellow items are printed in a very light grey, which is too faint to read.


Any recomendations to force everything to pure black?
(Especially any change I can make to the .pcf file.)

I found the answer.
We already use a pen table file that is referenced in all of our PCF files.
All I had to do was add the color option for each pen. Set RGB each to 0.0.
