sheet layout print quality

Post by Mark Hesketh »

is there a wa to increase the quality of the printouts of the sheet layouts through CN? I recently re-routed my prints to a lexmark laser printer all black and white, simply because it gets it all printed out a lot faster and i am not buying new colour ink cartirdges every couple of weeks. the lack of colour doesn't bother me, we very rarely cut anything with a flip opperation so i don't need to differentiate between the lines. the rest of the lines come out very very faint though (for the part outlines). i guess that this is an interpretation of the colour it is set up for. is there a way to make those part outline lines come out much darker or bolder?

Mark,

When you select the print sheet option it opens a dialog box that lets you select the printer. Next to where you select the printer is the printer properties box. Depending on the printer, You should be able to change the contrast, change from color to black and white, and change the line intensity. You will need to check the user's manual for you printer to see how to adjust these settings.
