White Objects are Plotting as Gray

Issue

When plotting, you are noticing that objects, lines, or areas that appear as white in your drawing are plotting in light gray. You've set the True Color value to 255, and the color looks white in the drawing, including Paper Space. It may appear light gray in the layer properties.

 

You might also notice that color 255,255,255 is plotting black (or transparent black, aka gray) instead of white.

 

Cause 

The current Land F/X color configuration does not yet account for a full white. At present, the closest we have is 255, set to 10% gray. We are in the process of adjusting some of our colors, and 255 will soon default to 0% gray.

 

Solution

To correct the issue, edit the LFX.ctb file you are using for plotting, and set color 255 to plot White, with 100% Screening. For information on editing a CTB style, see our Modify Existing CTB Plot Styles page.

 

If color 255,255,255 is plotting black or gray, you can simply set its RGB color value to 254,254,254.
