Mrs.Gosse Posted August 30, 2017 #1 Share Posted August 30, 2017 I've never had a problem printing things for my cruises in the past. However right now my printer is on the fritz and I'm trying to send it to Kinko's through my mobile device and nothing is working out. I can print from work but it will only be black and white how important is the color on the boarding pass? Is it always yellow? I've never paid attention.

ggprincess2004 Posted August 30, 2017 #2 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Doesn't matter at all, we always print ours in black and white, it says priority boarding on it if you are supposed to have priority boarding. No worries. We also print our luggage tags in black and white. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasbo49 Posted August 30, 2017 #3 Share Posted August 30, 2017 The color really doesn't matter. We've boarded several times with black and white papers. Yes, there's usually a green bar at the top for preferred and so on, but the words are all that matters. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul929207 Posted August 30, 2017 #4 Share Posted August 30, 2017 While the green splash at the top quickly identifies you as Platinum or Elite for priority boarding, the word PREFERRED is also there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs.Gosse Posted August 30, 2017 Author #5 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Thanks everyone. That's a huge relief. We are Elite but our boarding passes are yellow. Weird. I'm at the point where I'm ready to throw all of my electronic devices in the garbage. It was an awful lot of hassle for me this morning to end up with no boarding passes printed.

I went through the same thing for years & finally bought a B&W laser printer & have never regretted it. No more ink to dry out for lack of use and the laser cartridge lasts forever. :) As others have mentioned, there's no need for color on the boarding passes.

I did the same thing...only I did it because the cost per black and white page is waaay less than any inkjet out there and the ink is waterproof...no runny pages. My latest HP is wireless which means I can squirrel it away in the laundry room and still have it print any time I want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've recharged, cleaned, realigned etc. I'm so sick of printers. Anf it's constantly dropping the wifi. Then in a time like this it doesn't work. I also wanted to print directions from vancouver to seattle. Sent from my SM-G955U using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missymerv Posted August 30, 2017 #11 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Any thoughts on the use of colored paper for boarding passes or luggage tags? I have used neon colored paper for my luggage tags which made finding my luggage a bit easier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCruisers Posted August 30, 2017 #12 Share Posted August 30, 2017 The color is of no importance. Having PREFERRED a the top is the only thing that matters. Enjoy your cruise. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f-mattox Posted August 30, 2017 #13 Share Posted August 30, 2017 The only colors I've seen on boarding passes are blue and green (for preferred). But black and white is fine. I've seen yellow on the luggage tags but never on the boarding passes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thrak Posted August 31, 2017 #18 Share Posted August 31, 2017 I hope the colour it brings to their face isn't green though. That is why I wear my patch! Without it I simply couldn't cruise. I get car sick on winding roads if I'm not the driver and don't pay strict attention to the road. With my patch I've weathered seas that sent the "iron stomach" folks to their cabins to lie down while I ate Steak and Lobster. I may look like a total dork with that little round band aide thing behind my ear but it works. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TravelingEA Posted August 31, 2017 #21 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Since I don't have a color printer, I thought the boarding pass was always black & white. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
