I am using the Table (preview) with one column and one row to show a single value on my report (its an invoice). I have set the column header text colour to be the same as the background so all that is visible is the value. But when I print the report the column header text colour appears to be reverting to the default colour and you can see the text. I cant use cards and hide the category label (which prints fine) as cards dont allow you to align the text within it. ie. I have a number of these values that all have to be right or left aligned under each other (sub total, plus marketing fees, grand total). Cards seem to centre the value within them. Any ideas please?

I figured this out. When you print, you have to click on 'More Settings' and check 'Background graphics'. This then applies a lot of the custom formatting you have done to components but it also applies the change you made to the heading text colour. I will log an idea to be able to set the alignment for cards though as I still think this would be very useful and a better solution in terms of using the correct component.
@Gaz I would recommend adding this to the Issue Forum I'm not aware of any work-around as I've seen many instances where a new feature still has some gaps related to specific formatting when printing or use in tile, etc. This is also a "preview" feature, so the expectation is that it isn't fully baked in every way, but it will be good to raise the flag on this issue so they are aware of it.
Thanks for your reply @Seth_C_Bauer. I will log it. Worth noting that it does the same thing using the non preview version of Table. Im going to have to use cards for now so that the printing is fine but my alignment is going to be off. Have tried to think about redesigning the report and keeping the headers in but a) I end up wasting canvas space b) its just not as readable. *for anyone thinking "why you still printing reports, thats so 1990?". Im printing to PDF to save as a digital version.
