Re: Color AS/400 documents

Angela--

I would be concerned that you're trying to fax a document requesting
a colored background.  Unless the recipient is using a PC to receive
a fax, most (cheaper) fax machines I've seen print black on a clear
background-- color only if the paper is colored.  (:

Email is the same way-- it may look pretty on the screen, but unless
the user has a color printer, it's still going to be black on white.
And if the email program tries to translate color to gray scale, you
may end up with black print on a gray background-- surely not the
best combination of 'colors!'
