Whenever I create something with paint.net and try to print it, it prints out lighter than it looks on the computer. For example, something I colored black will print out light gray. Same thing happens if I save it as a .jpg and print it through an outside program. It does not happen if I save as a .png and print from an outside program. Is this a setting I need to fix? I would like to be able to print directly from paint.net.
