Except...you said it printed PDF files, I assume in black.

Curiouser and curiouser.

Sometimes a color printer will create black out of the color cartridges. As Tom said, it's a huge waste of ink, but the printer manufacturer will probably claim it makes the printout look better (it also makes their bottom line look a lot better).

I haven't seen the results of those PDF printouts myself. I'm betting that if I did, they would look slightly lighter than they should be...
