Mark,

Your comments expanded my thinking. Yesterday, I received a PDF from a client. 
I performed a screen grab of the drawing, pasted it into a MacDraft document 
and altered its image size. A portion of the drawing had a gray fill. On 
printing this revised drawing that gray fill printed in the green color I've 
been getting; not as the gray shown on the screen. Some way this set the color 
for all future printings. Do you have any idea where that would be? It must be 
a System thing of some sort. I think I've found the culprit; now to find a fix.

Thanks again,

Joe Wilkins
