PLEASE HELP: Illustrator CS2 – Can’t print “BLACK” BLACKS…
Hi Folks,
Hopefully something simple. I have Illustrator CS2 / Mac OS 10.4.5 / HP Deskjet 1220C (new ink carts – cleaned & prepped).
I am simply typing a single work in black type on a 8 1/2 x 14 (legal) artboard and the color is printing GRAY. Color Settings are RGB (tried CMYK – doesn’t work either).
Color settings are “North American General Purpose 2” (tried a few different ones…same result).I use to be able to print a simple black text resume in super black…now all my blacks are gray (still hi rez & sharp, just the wrong color).
Please help…deadline looming in the AM 🙁
Thanx so much in advance 🙂
Joey

In order to print BLACK blacks, you need to add some C and M in CMYK to form rich black. In CS2, there is actually a preference setting to display the difference between normal and rich black.
THe greyish print is normal.
Hope this helps
Cheers
Arthur
