Variable text turns gray when printing

Jun 11, 2020

Hi everyone,

I'm using window.print(); javascript on a final screen. When the print dialogue comes up, the variables are displayed as gray text in the print preview even though they're white on the original screen. They print as gray, too.

Does anyone know what might be causing this or what can be done to avoid it?

Hi Ashley!

I'm happy to help see why the variable is gray when printing using the window.print() code!

It sounds like you're only seeing this in the Print pop up, and not in the browser display. Have you looked at the Printing color settings? Could they possibly be set to grayscale or something similar?

Also, have you tried printing from a different browser? For example, if you're using Internet Explorer then try using Chrome to see if it causes the same outcome.
