# 2) can’t resist – if they
are blind – does it matter?
On a more serious note –
red is often difficult for the colorblind
to see. -----Original Message----- I received a call from State of
Virginia with the following questions regarding red ovals and I need assistance
in responding. 1.) Can we use red ovals? Yes the color of red
ink must be Pantone 032 2. ) Are there issues with the blind
population in regards to seeing the red ovals? 3.) What is the acceptable width of
the line that makes up the red oval? 4.) Can I print all ovals in black
and then make a second pass at the ballot covering the black ovals with red
ink? 5.) Does anyone have the printer
specs for red ovals? They would like a response by September
1, 2001 so that they can discuss at a state wide meeting. Thanks in advance for your help. Larry J. Dix Vice President of Operations Global Election Systems |
