Plotting problem with Autocad 2009 and HP 750C plus Color plotter

When plotting on a HP750C plus plotter using AutoCad 2009, plots come out extremely light – almost unreadable. Is their a command in either of the two that might help?

The first thing I would do is check your CTB or STB plot style file.

Like Remark if you have your pen style set to "none" plots will come out light.

Also you can plot draft, normal or high quality, for plots I suggest use Normal.

Are you plotting colour by layer or linetype ?

Did you plot mono but use a color pen style this will do it also.

How does it look if you plot to pdf or another plotter?

PDF & other printer look fine

Go to Start Printers & faxes and check the plotter configuration make sure its set to colour etc this will overide the Autocad settings.

Thanes for the reply. When you say "Printers & fax - set to color". Where is that function located - AutoCad or some other place?

Found what you where referring to - printers & fax's. The only choice I can find referring to "set to color" was under the tab of Properties for the plotter did I find anything about "Color". If this is what you meant, then the ploter is set to "Automatic"?

Same place printers & faxes do the test plot and see if that works ok

Also post a sample dwg and your CTB here to test. it should just work ok.
