It looks like you are tinting the slice colors but nut not the
brightness (Looks like Commodore Plus/4 colors, which use color tints
on each brightness level) , on a B&W printout it will show up as all
mostly the same color (depends on the printers rendering engine). You
should put in some division lines for monochrome support.
Though I m sure with some more mad programming time you could get the
PHP graphics library to do similar programmatically.
