How to print true black barcode?
Hi,
I have a problem. Barcode printing on plastic card from program develloped with Visual Studio 2003 using
PrintDocument component or Crystal Reports for .NET goes wrong - barcode prints "in composite black using YCM colors" instead of printing "in true black using only K color". Without problems I can do the same job from Delphi 4 QuickReports or from MS Access 2003 Report.
Please help me with any ideas
Thank you,

Hi,
Thank you for the answer. It is good idea to look to printer settings, but there is no user accessible settings for my two different card printers from different manufacturers that helps to achieve result. One of my ideas was to programatically access winspool driver TTOption, but unfortuneately this option seems is read only (for my printers - in position: "send True Type fonts as bitmaps"). It is definitely clear - program, made with Visual Studio .NET 2003, sends to printer driver something different in case of text formated with barcode font (True Type), than in case of text, formated with text font, for example, Arial. I believe that it is due high flexibility of .NET Windows Forms GUI. Only question, I think, - how to set right properties of brushes,transparency, opacity, contrast and so on.
