Show Printer Colors

I've often suspected changing the view to "Show Printer Colors" effects the colors printed.

Today I created a bitmap while Show Printer Colors was active and was shocked to see it was so much darker than the original, and still was after I reverted to Normal View.

I decided to do a print test on two vector squares and discovered there was a decided difference in the color results with Show Printer Colors active.

In my opinion Show Printer colors should be deactivated prior to the actual printing for the best results.

I would've thought the function served only to preview the inevitable difference, not actually affect the output. Strange...
IMO, this is counter productive in principle. I'll have to give it a try. Thanks for the note, Judi.

... that does not make much sense, does it? Perhaps, they should clarify that show printer colours a little bit...

Thanks for pointing it out, Judi.
