This article was previously published under Q190327 SYMPTOMS
If you try to print orange text to a Hewlett-Packard (HP) DeskJet 1200c,
the text will be printed as yellow rather than orange. If you have graphic
objects that are the same shade of orange on the same slide, the objects
will be printed as orange.
CAUSE
Many DeskJet printers cannot dither text. They can only print text in their
primary ink colors or colors made be mixing 50% of their primary ink
colors. DeskJets are limited to the following text colors: cyan,
magenta, yellow, black, white, red, green, and blue. Whenever you print
text that is not one of these colors, the printer prints the text as the
color in the list above that is closest to the actual text color.
RESOLUTION
If you need text that is another color, you can create the text as a
WordArt object. WordArt objects appear to be text, but are actually
pictures that contain complex polygon shapes. These WordArt objects do not
share this printer limitation.
