Although color printing has become common for many types of documents, grayscale printing is still used for many types of documents, including letters and periodicals. For this reason, Adobe InDesign CS5.5 allows you to create a preset that automatically converts projects to grayscale when you print them. You can also print all text in black for legibility. In addition, InDesign CS5.5 allows you to export a project as a grayscale image so you can preview a document without using paper.
