    Hello ladies!

    I plan to gocco some color images that I found online.  When I convert them to grayscale and then print them on a black and white laser, the colored areas will still be gray, not black.  Will this still work for creating the master?

    Thanks so much!

    Actually, it should come out fine! I wouldn't worry about it.

    I'm not sure. It's the toner in the printout that makes the area be able to be printed, so if there is a little toner (like in a lt gray) it might print accidentally. If you have time and enough screens, I would do a test, if not, it would be best to convert the areas you want to print on the gocco to solid black and the areas you don't to solid white. You should be able to do this on a copier if you don't have a way to adjust the contrast on the computer.

    SDannie, will you let us know if you wind up trying it with the gray?  I'm curious to learn how it turned out!
