One minor suggestion.  You are using RGB colors.  Printers usually
prefer CMYK.  Using CMYK colors has the additional advantage that they
look in PDF viewers as on paper, i.e. much darker.

See the example at

The color bars show primary colors only.  Here is the code snippet
which produced the bars:

 |   g.gsave()
 |   g.translate(0,150)
 |   local colors={
 |      {1,1,1},
 |      {1,1,0},
 |      {0,1,1},
 |      {0,1,0},
 |      {1,0,1},
 |      {1,0,0},
 |      {0,0,1},
 |      {0,0,0},
 |   }
 |   for i,v in ipairs(colors) do
 |      g.rect(i*5,0, 5,20)
 |      g.paint('fill', {color=v})
 |   end
 |   g.text('\\bf RGB', {at={25,10}})
 |   g.translate(0,-20)
 |   local colors={
 |      {0,0,0,0},
 |      {0,0,1,0},
 |      {1,0,0,0},
 |      {1,0,1,0},
 |      {0,1,0,0},
 |      {0,1,1,0},
 |      {1,1,0,0},
 |      {0,0,0,1},
 |   }
 |   for i,v in ipairs(colors) do
 |      g.rect(i*5,0, 5,20)
 |      g.paint('fill', {color=v})
 |   end
 |   g.text('\\bf CMYK', {at={25,10}})
 |   g.grestore()

Regards,
  Reinhard
