The colours on the screen will never be as the colours on print even with a screen calibration (but it would help if you can calibrate the screen with the printer). I normally deal with the publisher or the printer directly. You can ask for a recommended colour palet. That can help. You can also add a cd to the book with colour images. </div><div class="gmail_msg">Nicolas</div><div class="gmail_msg"><br class="gmail_msg">Le 11 nov. 2016 à 12:26, David Addy [via <a href="http://OSGeo.org" rel="nofollow" link="external" class="gmail_msg" target="_blank">OSGeo.org</a>] <<a href="http:///user/SendEmail.jtp?type=node&node=5295396&i=0" rel="nofollow" link="external" class="gmail_msg" target="_blank">[hidden email]</a>> a écrit :<br class="gmail_msg"><br class="gmail_msg"></div><blockquote style="border-left:2px solid #cccccc;padding:0 1em" type="cite" class="gmail_msg"><div class="gmail_msg">
Most of us prepare our maps using colours for different outlines or different colour shades of fill for polygons. However, there are still occasions where maps produced for publication in books or magazines will end up as shades of grey to save the cost of colour printing. This is certainly the case for most of the local history texts for which I am often asked to make maps.
<br class="gmail_msg">This can result in greys which are fairly indistinguishable from each other, and traditionally this issue was approached by adding hatchings to the ‘colour’. This could end up as looking a mess and/or failing to adequately highlight an area of highest activity in distribution maps.
<br class="gmail_msg">Has anybody got any experience of, or advice for, successfully solving the problem of making monochrome maps look more attractive and useful?
