Having spent a large chunk of time playing with all the alternatives, the problem with printing line weights comes down to the handling of text.
I use a colour based line weight table for a monochrome Laser printer emulating PCL 5e. If the use lineweights tab is checked, the lineweights come out according to colour but text all comes out at the thinnest weight for the text style regardless of colour. ISOCP and Romans are hairline thick and Arial is much too thick for dimensions. If the use lineweights tab is not checked, the Romans text style is a good thickness (prints at the lineweight of the thickest line) but all lines are the same thickness as the thickest line regardless of colour. Arial is so thick it is hard to read in small fonts.
Any suggestions?
