    Cause and Solution

    When you are using the PCL/UFR II printer driver, gray compensation is applied to the gray color portions of the "streaks" in the diagrams.
    Set [Gray Compensation] to [Off] in the printer driver.
    In order to specify the setting for [Gray Compensation], display the following dialog box.
    - For UFR II Printer Driver: Display the [Advanced Settings] dialog box by clicking [Details] in the [Quality] sheet, then clicking [Advanced Settings] in the [Detailed Settings] dialog box.
    - For PCL Printer Driver: See Help of the PCL printer.

    When you are using the PS printer driver, TR Normal or TR Photo in OUTPUT PROFILE is applied to the gray color portions of the "streaks" in the diagrams.
    <Remedy 1>
    Set OUTPUT PROFILE in the PS options to NORMAL or PHOTO. [Specifying the Setting for OUTPUT PROFILE]
    <Remedy 2>
    Set RGB PURE BLACK in the PS options to OFF. [Specifying the Setting for RGB PURE BLACK]
    Also, you can specify the same setting in the PS printer driver. For more details, see Help of the PS printer driver.
