I am a little foggy on when to apply grayscale and dithering and hope someone can clarify by explanation or example.

Issue Details
Without much time to test here so far, I am trying to represent existing objects as a light gray (Color 8 or 9) in a plotstyle table.

Hardware and Results
The plotter, an old HP750c workhorse, plots these gray shades as a series of dots instead of the entities' linetypes as intended.

Is this the result of combining dithering and applying a lighter color such as light gray?
