On all displays, black is the natural background color. Until recently (with Macs and Windows machines) black was a default for all graphics backgrounds. Macs and Windows use the "I am like a piece of paper" principle. Here is the problem. Many displays don't have perfect color convergence. When the color convergence is bad, white backgrounds tend to bleed over and produce fuzzy displays.

For large JPEG and GIF map images, the map must be resized to print the entire image (see below). Even after resizing, the quality and legibility of the printed map is dependent upon the quality of your printer. For quickly printing the less detailed maps, you can save the map image file to your hard drive, and then open Microsoft Word. Select Insert from the menu bar, then Picture/File.

Using other colors for barcodes aside from the normal black bar on a white background is highly discouraged. Though they may work when you test them with your scanner, other scanners may not be able to pick up on the different color variations, especially lower end CCD and laser scanners. It is best to stick with the standard black on white barcode label. See similar questions...

Many organizations start developing materials in black and white. This is completely acceptable as long as the materials have a professional look and an effective message. This means that you should always check for proper grammar and spelling. It also means that you should not design an object in color and then make black and white copies. If your final product will be black and white, your original should be developed in black and white. See similar questions...
