Re: Color in PDF - Printing in black&white

["Michael Cenedella" <ropes12@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've had this problem before. I bet you're using the standard blue color
from Frame.

I came up with two color solutions. Try it on your users' printers as much
as you can. Basically, a darker blue or green will print as black.

My Dark Blue is Spot, C 100 M 90 Y 10 Black 0, all values in %

My Forest Green is Spot, C 100 M55 Y 100 Black 0

Both are overprint knock out.

I use the blue for cross references.
