The Trouble with b/w patterns

[DukeNukem]

The trouble with black & white patterns is! It's really hard to see a black blade inside the cutting part of the pattern .If I'm not the only one with this problem you're gonna love this idea I painted the top end of the blade with NEON yellow paint and sprayed a little fast drying clear coat on what a difference it made,Anyway if yuo have any trouble like this try it it worked for me lol

Another thing I do is run a hightlighter along the lines (at least when I started scrolling). After a while, though, you learn where the blade is in relation to the wood, and it's like driving a car.

Yup, seeing the line can be a problem. I only have a B/W laser printer. I wonder if toner manufactures would create a red toner cartridge just for scrollers?

Reducing the glare from white paper can help considerably, even if you're using black ink. It means there's less strain on the eyeballs. Copying or printing your patterns onto colored paper might be worth a try.

I've noticed that if I invert the picture, or turn it into a negative, that works too. Then, all the black is white and white is black. But, before inverting, you should change all the white to a color of your choice. After changing the white to another color and inverting, do the same to the black (which would be where the white used to be) most likely turning the black into white then. I just wish there was an easy way to make all that solid color go away and have fine lines instead. When I figure that one out, I'll let you all know.
