    Hi Earl,

    Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. I'm an AI assistant here to assist you.

    Regarding your issue with the printed sheet of your form "2026 summer classes registration" where the pick item prints very light, here’s how you can address it:

    Jotform itself does not have a direct setting to darken the printed items on the form sheet. However, you can try the following approaches to improve the print visibility:

    • Check your printer settings: Increase the print density or quality settings in your printer preferences to make the print darker.
    • Use PDF Editor to customize print appearance: In Jotform's PDF Editor, you can customize how your form looks when printed, including font styles and sizes which might help enhance visibility.
    • Enable Print Button on your form: This allows users to print the form directly with better formatting. You can enable this in the Form Builder under the Submit button properties.
    • Print from Jotform Tables: If you are printing submission data, use Jotform Tables to view and print entries, which might have better print formatting.

    Unfortunately, there is no direct option in Jotform to darken specific items on the printed form sheet beyond these methods.

    Give it a try and let us know how it goes.

    Hi Earl,

    Great, so you are looking at the Submission Inbox. If you print, that's the standard text size and color for the product label. Unfortunately, there's no option to change or modify it. My recommendation is to use the download option and select the existing PDF Document you created. This will follow the template you created, which has bolder text for the product label. Let me show you how:

    1. In Submission Inbox, click on the Three Dots icon on the right side.
    2. Now, select Download and click the PDF document you have.
    3. Then, open the document and print from there.
