Hi Everyone, I am considering the best practices for producing high-quality plots for publication. I would like to be able to use colour and and transparency for screen viewing, but also want to ensure that the graphs print well.
The typical problem I run into is using colors for data curves. When printed on laser printers, these curves become halftone grayscale which appear very "blurry" compared with the pure black curves. I would like to develop a set of practises that will allow me to specify two types of colors - those for data that should be rendered in true black (but perhaps with varying line-thickneses corresponding to the original darkness) when printed, and those for shading, axis frames etc. in the background where blurry halftones are acceptable. Has this topic been discussed anywhere? I know of several threads discussing general conversion to grayscale, but nothing discussion the issues of blurry halftones when printing. Thanks, Michael.
