I'm using Vectorworks 10 on Windows XP and a HP Deskjet 420.
I use color lines to indicate line thickness, but every line except black lines are printed dashed instead of solid. Tried changing print resolutions and modes, but no success.
Any ideas?
printing color lines VW10 on HP

Hi,
Think the problem is printer related. The HP420 has either a black or a color ink cartridge. I'm currently using the black one. The printer does not realy support grayscale in this way, thus colors are basicaly rasterized and printed with dot patterns. So I think the same happens with lines in VW, since different color lines give different dash-patterned lines.
I think the problem might be solved using a color cartridge, as such grayscale should be supported by the printer.
Anyhow I found a workaround for the black cartridge, by setting the Document preferences - Display to black-and-white, just temporary for printing. This will print all the lines in a proper solid mode...
So I think this will do it for the moment....
Thanx
