RGB AND GREYSCALE

Images supplied in color will sometimes appear black and white in print due to the additional costs involved in color printing. For this reason, it is necessary to highlight what can go wrong in such a conversion. If possible, authors should check the results of such a conversion prior to supply.

  • Colors that display a clear difference may appear very similar to each other when converted to grey (see example below). This is true for both line and halftone images.
  • Certain colors, for example, light yellow lines, may not reproduce well in print.
