KATIE0801 Posted December 21, 2012 Posted December 21, 2012 I have created the interior of a shop using CAD. I have had this printed by 2 print shops and in both cases the walls (which should be dark cream / birch) have come out light yellow. There are a few other colour discrepancies basically resulting in the print being much lighter than what is on my screen. I have tried the in-built calibrating options for the monitor and nothing seems to work to make my screen show a true rep of the colours (as they appear when printed) in either CAD iteslef or in PDF. The issue is not that the colour is slightly out - it is a completely different colour - i am only hoping for a general accuracy. I don't want to purchase calibration software. I don't understand why i can't print a colour cad doc with a basic level of colour accuracy Quote
ReMark Posted December 21, 2012 Posted December 21, 2012 These are renderings that are being printed? Quote

ReMark Posted December 21, 2012 Posted December 21, 2012 (edited) Hatched? You did not assign materials? This isn't a 3D drawing is it? My use of the term "rendering" implies a 3D model to which materials have been applied and the scene is made more realistic via the Render feature in AutoCAD. Where color is critical I would think you would use a specific Color Book designation as opposed to an Index Color or a TrueColor. Edited December 21, 2012 by ReMark Quote
JD Mather Posted December 21, 2012 Posted December 21, 2012 Can you attach the dwg file here? (at least a portion of it) Quote
