Hey WenttotheDarkSide,

When choosing to print from the Pages application, have you double-checked the printer settings to make sure everything is set correctly? Here's a guide that should help check: Choose settings in the Print dialog on Mac - Apple Support

If that doesn't help, let us know more:

Is this only happening with a particular Pages document or all Pages documents you try to print?
If you change the color to something different, then change it back, does that help: Change how text looks in Pages on Mac, iPhone, or iPad - Apple Support

Keep us posted.

Take care!
