    Just an observation. ALL CAPS IS HARD TO READ.

    I assume you are referring to the actual 1040, etc being printed from the program. Short answer NO. 

    There might be problem with the printer driver. Use the Lacerte Tool Hub https://accountants.intuit.com/support/en-us/help-article/system-responses/fix-common-problems-errors-lacerte-tool-hub/L9R7PETvi_US_en_US?src=g4t and Printing option on the left to each of the two Repair tools.

    What printer are you using? I have never noticed any problems. 

    Answers are easy. Questions are hard!

    Besides hard to read as @George4Tacks stated, capital letters is the internet code for yelling.

    To address the issue of light text on client copies, it’s important to clarify that making inputs bold directly on forms like the 1040 may not be possible through the tax software itself. However, the problem might stem from your printer driver or settings. Try using the Lacerte Tool Hub and running the "Printing" repair tools to resolve any potential driver issues. Additionally, check your printer settings for quality adjustments or toner density options, as these can affect the output. What printer model are you using? Sharing more details might help pinpoint the issue further.
