Help - Problems printing Gearz USS Saratoga

TonyG2 · 04-14-2012, 11:48 AM

Haven't done much paper modelling for a while. Real life getting in the way.

Anyway decided to get back into the saddle and build Gearz Saratoga from Space Above and Beyond.

On screen the pdf files look fine but when I print the pages, they come out with a definite purple tinge.

Had assumed it was my printer (epson ink jet) so borrowed a different one - completely different make and model - but got the same result. Transfered the file to my office PC and used our colour laser printer. Same result.

Took it to a copy shop and used their printer. Same result.

Any suggestions how to print this out and keep the model grey without this odd purplish shading? Like I say, on screen it looks fine.

Tony you could try converting the pdf to jpg or any other image files hope this helps.

You could just print it in grey-scale I suppose.
