Artistic friends?

Perhaps you are printing in draft mode.
File, Page Setup, Page (tab), Options

the choices depend on your printer, and I don't really think they are stored
with the sheet. I have a Canon printer, and I see "Standard" for print quality.

Excel 11.56 - Windows XP - When I receive Excel documents via e-mail they
print out in faded/muted colors. My printer is not in need of new
cartiridges. My documents print just fine - but when I receive documents
from other people the colors are very light! Thanks for any assistance.
