    Hello.

    A new problem that has never happened to me before has just occurred today, I've printed out an A1 layout of a landscaping project and the background to the SU model appeared as solid black rather than white as it is in SU, layout and on the pdf. Another little quirk is that a .png logo image that I have used before also appeared with a black background where it is normally transparent. I'm probably missing something simple here, would you mind pointing it out please so I can be ambarassed for a few moments and then move on with my day 💚

      Hard to tell from your picture. Can you share the LayOut file so we can take a look at it?

      I have seen similar reports of this kind of thing but they've all had to do with PDF exports on Macs and the PDF viewer that was used.

        Thanks Dave, you nailed it. I just printed it from a PC instead of a Mac and it was fine.

          Wos. A lot of black ink. Haven't seen that before (on a Mac). Could it be Catalina? Must be some setting. Macintosh-- the pioneer of desktop publishing. But now?
