Eliminating background colour?

Post by royfarnol »

It's usually a great waste of time and ink having to print out somebody's artistic excesses with coloured backgrounds.

Printing in grayscale of course simply produces a grey background.

Is there any way to avoid printing the background?

What are you printing? Documents (from which application)? Or web pages? Or pictures? Or ...?
Best wishes,
Hans

This latest document I printed out is from a PDF file but I have encountered coloured backgrounds in just about every form.

(One of my pet hates is getting white print on a grey background!)

Thanks, Roy.

Hi Roy,

See if any of the options in this guide help to resolve the query...

If your absence does not affect them, your presence didn't matter.
