MS Office Forum / Word / Document Management / February 2006Why do my envelope addressess print in red, not black?
I've gone to options and ensured the default font color is black. I have refilled my black ink cartridge. But every envelope I print comes out in red (actually, more of a fuschia pink). What am I doing wrong? And your other documents print in black? Is your black cartridge dried out? How about your cyan and yellow?

For reasons unknown, some printers use a composite black (made up of the colors in your color cartridge or cartridges) rather than true black from the black cartridge to print envelopes and other small documents. When envelopes start printing red (or green or some other color), it usually indicates an imbalance of inks in the color cartridge(s). BTW, the color you describe as fuchsia is "magenta," one of the three ink colors (the others are cyan and yellow). SignatureSuzanne S.
