CREO 4.0 Prints Too Light

Making the Jump to Creo 4.0.

 

While plotting, the plots are coming out too light, almost like a Gray-scale.  Played with the settings, but nothing has jumped out.

 

Any suggestions?

 

Thanks!

Hi,

if you want to print all drawing items in black color, then use the following pentable.

pen 1 color 0 0 0; thickness .030 cm; attention_color

pen 2 color 0 0 0; thickness .025 cm;

pen 3 color 0 0 0; thickness .016 cm;

pen 4 color 0 0 0; thickness .070 cm;

pen 5 color 0 0 0; thickness .030 cm;

pen 6 color 0 0 0; thickness .016 cm;

pen 7 color 0 0 0; thickness .005 cm;

pen 8 color 0 0 0; thickness .016 cm;

Hi David,

Are you using a pen table file?  If not, see if you can access this document on how to set up the pen table file:

Suggested Technique for Creating Table.pnt files and Setting Default Pens

Thanks,

I am pointing to the same Pen Table file that we've been using with Creo 2.0.

Does this need to be modified for Creo 4.0?

Thanks for the response.
