Reply To: Cannot get black to print black

Yes, clearly something is “color managing” the color along the way, so that 100% black is being converted. It could be in the Print dialog box or it could be in the printer driver.

Some questions:
* Is it a PostScript printer, or a non-ps printer? If it is a PS printer, it would probably have a PPD showing at the top of the Print dialog box (though it may be grayed out)
* Have you tried turning on the “Text as Black” checkbox in the Output pane of the Print dialog box?
* What happens if you export to PDF and print from Acrobat or Reader?
* What are you choosing in the Color popup menu in the Output pane of the Print dialog box? Even if it’s a B&W printer, I would leave that set that to RGB
