OP again.

This graph does not print clearly using regular "print".

Could someone present a better way of printing this graph.

Even better - could someone linearize (delog) the graph so a viewers can get a better sense of relative scale.

Also bigger is better.

TIA

Pick your desired properties from the Top rhs and then select non-Java from the top left hand side.

You've stumbled on "Ashby" charts. Prof. M. F. Ashby from Cambridge has published extensively on this subject and his methods are standard practice in many places worldwide. You can't go wrong using his methods.
