When working with drawings that have been converted from expertcad, anything added to these drawings will print very light. Have tryed changing colors, lineweight, layers with no luck. Anybody have an idea how to correct this. Running Autocad 2001 & 2005 LT / expertcad ver. 7.5
Thank you

Not quite sure how you are printing. What doe CONVERTPSTYLES at the command line do for you?

Did you consider that the conversion from one program to another might have caused an incompatibility between the file and your and your printer, it might be worth a try to try plotting your drawing on another printing device.

 
Under page set up>plot device folder: try changing your plot style table to acad.ctb; then in the edit selection, you'll get the plot style table editor from which the form view folder will contain 255 color which are to be highlighted and under properties you will select the black color.
