Printing shades in black and white

[Anonymous]

I print my work out in colour so i can achieve grey shades on some of my plans. but some consultants dont print in colour so how can i print my grey shades in black and white without the shade turning completely black.

You can normally chose to print out in Greyscale in the printer dialolgue box. It might be helpful to know if you are sending .PLT files to get printed or are doing this yourself in house.

also....print in colour but use a customized pentable (apply to the drawing's settings) that gives the black/grey values you are after...
