Print Gray Shades

M

Moshe

I have a document with some boxes with Gray Shades.

When I gave this to a print shop to print the newsletter, all gray shades do not show (they are now white).

The printer says the gray must be "screened" [with real black dots].

Anyone knows how I can do that?

Some desktop printers do a better job of this than others, and some
commercial printers handle your camera-ready copy better than others. If
your (desktop) printer can't print shades that your (commercial) printer can
handle, then you will have to either eliminate the shades or use solid black
instead and let the (commercial) printer do the screening.
