why do my documents print in faded colors?

Excel 11.56 - Windows XP - When I receive Excel documents via e-mail they
print out in faded/muted colors. My printer is not in need of new
cartiridges. My documents print just fine - but when I receive documents
from other people the colors are very light! Thanks for any assistance.

Artistic friends?

Perhaps you are printing in draft mode.
File, Page Setup, Page (tab), Options

the choices depend on your printer, and I don't really think they are stored
with the sheet. I have a Canon printer, and I see "Standard" for print quality.
