Printing screen captures

[donalson]

I am preparing a paper for Ecological Modelling and have run a problem
printing color screen shots.  I have a number of jpg color images that
were either captured by one of the X-win utilities or by Corel Draw in
Win 98.  They all look really great when displayed but when printed on
my new HP880c look very washed out.  (Print priview is fine.)  The
pictures are very similar to the Heatbug displays with 32 shades of red
representing agent density in each cell (as opposed to heat.)  The
printer does other jpgs quite nicely, and I have tried my pictures with
two other editors and the result is the same (washed out.)  I take this
to mean that it is something inherent in the jpg that doesn't translate
well.  I am wondering if it might even be that 32 intensities of red is
too much for a (relativily) inexpensive printer.

Has anyone out there tried to print a screen captured heatbug type
image?  If so have you been successful and how?

As long as I am asking questions, what is the best way to reference
SWARM when writing the paper.  No one seems to be progressive enough yet
to accept web addresses as a reference and I don't know of the
"consumate" published SWARM paper/reference.

Cheers,

    Doug
