Depending upon printer, black can be made up of a combination of colors,
even when you have a separate black ink cartridge and the more you enlarge
the text (which I guess you did to better exemplify what you were saying)
the more visible it is. That's one possibility.

Here's another, printing in Windows is WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You
Get) and if the text looks as it appears and as you describe, that's how it
will print. Also, note, this is not a text document, this is a web page.
Do you see the same effect when you view and print a text document?
