    Plotting Halftone Backgrounds

    Anyone have the trick to plotting architectural bases as a background for reflected ceiling plans, MPE, etc...? Tried using colors and grays, but really looking for a halftone (50% fine screen pattern) for more consistent results, especially when saving & sending PDFs to outside plotting service in B&W only...
    Thanks,

    Tell your printer to print in grayscale. They may be using B&W because its faster. You also need to send them a color plan but be carefully what color you use as some colors will print too lite. Not sure if thats you problem though, could be something else.
