I assume you mean that the axvspan prints as a solid color, rather than semi-transparent (alpha-blended). That is an unfortunate limitation of the Postscript format -- it can not handle transparency. > Is there a best way of optimizing print quality? Each of the output formats has a number of different limitations -- it depends a lot on what you're rendering and where you need it to go. You could try saving as a PDF, and then using pdftex to generate your document, if that's an option for you.
