450C/ 488CA 430 Controlling your print's appearance Printing color drawings in monochrome Important points about monochrome printing The monochrome print will render colors as grayscales. If you want your print printed in only black and white, then you should set all your logical pens to black, either in your software (easily achieved in CAD software by using a pen number that is 100% black) or in the Setup Sheet (see page 3-12). With monochrome printing, you have the option to choose between 300 and 600 dpi resolution (see page 3-15). - With the HP DesignJet 450C and 488CA, the resolution on glossy media is always 300 dpi. This is because, with the Glossy media type selected, all printing is performed using the cyan, yellow and magenta cartridges; the black cartridge is not used. - With the HP DesignJet 430, glossy media is not supported. For 600 dpi addressable resolution, you must set the appropriate options (for example, "color as grayscale" or "all as black" and "best" or "normal") in the driver. 3-14
