So I want the red squiggle areas to be whitened/dimmed to save on toner and I want the text and lines/roads highlighted/black/darkened. It's to be printed on a laser Black and White/Grayscale printer.

I tried converting to grayscale and printing but the gray block areas don't print all that great and the text and lines look subdued because 'Yellow Road' looks slightly grey and merges with the block areas.

What should I do? I tried https://np.reddit.com/r/GIMP/comments/e8...n_old_map/ but it didn't do what I wanted - it darkens the whole image/fiddling with the Levels/Curves
