Default Faded text colors

When I use a dark blue text color in Excel, it prints very faded. When I use
the same text color in WORD, it prints just fine. Any ideas?

Even when I "bold" the text in blue, it comes out faded. Weird huh?
Like I said, I know it's not the printer because in WORD it prints vibrant
blue colors. Any other ideas? Thanks.

Go to... File (menu) | Page Setup | Sheet (tab)
Make sure Draft quality is not checked.
