Printing as Black and White

Aug 8, 2012 11:31 AM

Categories: Macintosh Tags: #x #black_and_white

We recently upgraded to X, and have noticed that the Black and White setting for Grayscale is gone. I looked around in the forums and found the suggestion to "Convert to black and white in the Fixups" but my Fixup menu does not have that option- I have options to convert to CMYK and Grayscale, but not Black and White.

We need this option to run film negatives- any Dot Gain percentage as the grayscale setting gives us a dot pattern. Is there any way to get this option back? Otherwise we're kind of screwed. I also tried to install Acrobat 9.3.0, and the Black and White option is also missing on there, even though it's available in 9.5.0 on my other Mac (10.5.8)

 

Using a Mac, Lion 10.7.3, Acrobat 10.1.1

 

thanks!

    Hi Val,

     

    Try choosing File > Print.  Click the 'Printer' buttom at the bottom. Change the dropdown from 'Layout' to 'Quality & Media'.  Check the grayscale button here.

    Thanks David,

    We don't have that option in our printer menu- we are running to a Konica EV3100H Jetsetter. We can only select the resolution from that menu.
