Printing 3D work in color is muddy

I'm having a problem printing my 3D models in color - when I print them with the viewports set to view them as "hidden", they come out with clean lines as I expect, but when I try printing those same viewports in color, the lines become really muddy and the drawing is almost unrecognizable. And I did change all layers to 0.00" so that when "none" is selected in the Plot Style Table menu, the lines are as fine as possible, yet the print preview is still a mess. Does anyone have any idea what might be causing this? (I'm working with AutoCAD 2005 and a RICOH printer, btw).

 

Thanks a lot,

 

Matt

Not sure the purpose of this, but there is a setting for the quality of shaded image printing - did you set that to highest quality?

 

Seems like this would have been important information to include in your post, so the assumption is maybe you didn't know it was in the Page Setup
