The trick here is to configure your monitor as a monochrome VGA
(you are using VGA, aren't you? 8-) ) before Printscreening to the
clipboard. Then paste the clipboaard into w4w. You'll be amazed
at the differnce this makes.

After you have captured all your graphics this way you can reconfigure
back to a color monitor and you will not lose any detail in the
w4w document.

If this answer has been posted before, I apologize but this news
only got here today a mere 10 days since it was posted.
