v19.04
When printing a copper layer to my laser printer (and also pdfs) ,EPC is now filling "some" pad holes solid black ,even when told not to in plotting and print.

It seems be related to track size ,and where it enters the pad, as when I reduce the size of the very last track segment (the one that enters the pad) to below 25thou , it starts to work normally.

At first I thought it was my design , but I get the same on a different PC with the div.pcb example.

One thought: Open the help file, click the search tab and type backoff into the search box. The pictures there may explain what's happening.

I get the same issue using EPC's in built PDF print function, but not with EPC Windows printer driver. I use a 3rd party virtual printer if I need PDFs and that works OK, and that way you get true-text fonts printing correctly as well!
