The text is noticeably darker when I print my document in booklet format, in InDesign, or via Acrobat. A single page prints normally. I print to a Ricoh SP C840DN, and am using the 2023 versions of InDesign and Acrobat on a Mac. Why would settings change because booket imposition was implemented???What I tried:I have turned off Rich Blacks in InDesign preferences, where the file was created.I have tried changing what controls the color output. In advanced print color management, I have changed color handling to "same as source"I have tried 300 and 600 dpi Please share any ideas.

How do you create the booklet? By using Ricoh's print engine? Did you try with a simple Word file?

I created the booklet in Adobe InDesign. I tried printing from InDesign and
from Adobe Acrobat with the same result. If I printed one page, the black
density did not increase, so I printed all 8 double-sided pages separately
to work around the problem. InDesign and Acrobat set up a continuous flow
document into a print signature for a folded booklet. They are my
professional tools.

I do not use Word nor want to reconfigure everything into a third program.
I don't want to work backward into a lesser tool if possible.

The adobe products are not heeding the Ricoh print settings. Hoping for an
update!
