Black lines not printing real black

$

Using Acad LT 2014, Win8. Using stb plot style. I also tried printing from my Win7 laptop, same result. Does not appear to be a Windows8 issue.

I am having something odd happening, I think it is new with 2014.

 

I noticed that my lines are not actually printing as black, but rather a very dark brown or almost black.

 

I have a stb style (Bk 1.00), Color = black, screening 100, and for some reason it's not really printing full black.


One layer (A-Elev-Maj) is set for color 132, but the plot style is Bk 1.00. It prints on my Canon Pixma and on pdf as very dark brown.

I have another layer (A-Fill-Bk) set to color 0,0,0, and also plot style Bk 1.00, and it prints dead black.

I tried making the A-Elev-Maj layer 0,0,0 and it still prints an "almost" black.

 

I checked in the stb file, it is really set to black. I tried 250, as well as 0,0,0 and go the same result.

 

Anyone else had this?

Attached pdf. You can look at the fence railing or the triangle chimney cap to see the comparison of the A-Fill-Bk which is printing actual black and surronding lines which are "almost" black. Zoom in and you can see it.

 

Thanks,

GChapp
