- Right-click the text 'Black' and click Apply to All Styles (Figure 1).
- Select the Enable Dithering check box for Color 1 column.
- Right-click the Enable Dithering check box for Color 1, and click Apply to All Styles.
- Select the Convert to Grayscale check box for Color 1 column.

Also, to print or plot with half-toning or shades of gray, simply adjust the Screening value for each color that you want to modify.
