I have a document with a batch of EPS graphics in it. I have a PostScript
B&W printer, but a non-PostScript color printer.
If I take my document, create a PDF of it, and then print the PDF on the
color printer, will the colors be a reasonable approximation of the
original document?
Would I do much better by taking the document (it's just a Word file with
the graphics dropped in) to a service bureau and having them print it in
color?
The final version needs to be on transparency paper; it's for an overhead
slide for a conference.

"The problem with defending the purity of the English language is that
English is about as pure as a cribhouse whore. We don't just borrow words;
on occasion, English has pursued other languages down alleyways to beat
them unconscious and rifle their pockets for new vocabulary." -- James D. Nicoll
