Hi Ken, You could use Wilhelm Sanke's image tools to remove the color from the screencaptured image. I think that would actually be pretty fast. Or, you could probably do it really fast with an optimized imagedata script where you average the values of each pixel and reapply. I would think that

Ken, Have you tried snapshoting the card, then somewhere off screen you put a gray image on top of the snapshot with some blend and take another shot. Depending on ink combinations you might have a nice result. Another way, which I don't know how fast it is, is to read each pixel in the snapshot
