Hello. When I print my files theres no color (see the green text that says VERS, it turns black when I print the song) I use the mf-tool (EXPRESSION TOOL) to write the green letters...

However the small note that is a crash cymbal and that I've decided to be RED is RED also when printing. Also other graphics, pictures etc. are in colour.

Any Ideas?

Finale doesn't print scores in color.

I believe it does? I've done this many times before, something has changed just now...

In the Finale Print dialog there is an option to print “Display colors”.

Also, an inserted color graphic will print in colors.
