Printing too faint in Outlook 2010 emails

Options
Hi my emails are printing too faint from Outlook 2010. Any advice how to correct this please?

Rest of print from word, excel etc is just fine.

Thanks and best wishes.

    Hi RaiderHammer

    If printing from other applications is ok, is it simply that you are using a font colour in your emails that doesn't print well (perhaps blueish or greyish) - or a font shape that just doesn't print well?

    If that's the problem, you can change your default font settings in:

    File>Options>Mail>Stationery and Fonts>New Mail Messages>Font
    (and ...Replying or forwarding Messages>Font)

    That will only apply to new emails you create or reply to from now on.

    You can change the font colour on old messages for printing by opening them, then:

    Message>Other Actions>Edit Message
    [Highlight all the text]
    Format Text>[Font Colour drop down]>[select black]
    ...then Print the email.
