Text is printed dark gray instead of black

[D-ominik]

Typora 1.9.5 Windows x64

When printing a document, the text is always printed in dark grey, regardless of the selected theme. When using a laser printer, this results in text that is unattractive and less legible.

I tried adding

@media print {
    body {
      background: white;
      color: black !important;
    }
}

to the theme CSS without any difference.

How can I achieve a text printed in black?

We don't have a laser printer for testing, does color look black in exported PDF? Then print that PDF, is text dark?

I just tried to save as PDF, got the message that the default theme is used and opened this PDF: The text color is R51 G51 B51 (#333333). I also tried printing to a PDF file using two different PDF printer drivers: same result, the text is #333333...

Which Typora theme do you use? Did you overwrite the font color in

@media print {

}

First of all, thanks a lot for your support!

I'm using the theme "Github Dark Dimmed", I've also tried other themes, including light ones such as "Whitey". The problem is still the same, text is always in R51 B51 G51 (Hex 333333) when printed or exported to PDF.

I have added the following CSS to the theme:

@media print {
    body {
      background: white;
      color: black !important;
    }
}

I also tried with red text color to make it obvious. When I emulate print mode in the inspector, the text then also appears in red. But as soon as I print or export as PDF, the text is R51 B51 G51 again.
