RE: Color AS/400 documents

["Angela Wawrzaszek" <awawrzaszek@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thankyou for that thought.  We do need to consider that and I am talking to our 
credit people because they were the ones who think we need to have it print on 
special color,  but if the customers do not have the capability to do this we 
will not really be gaining anything but complaints about the readability of our 
forms!!!

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!'
