View | Header and Footer. Click on the logo, which will display the Picture
toolbar, and choose Format Picture. On the Picture tab, adjust the
brightness and contrast to give the desired result (or use the toolbar
controls for brightness and contrast). In a test here, "Washout" sets the
picture to 85% brightness and 15'% contrast (instead of the default 50% for
each), so perhaps less brightness and more contrast will give a better
effect.

We now have a color laser printer and want to print our letterheads using
our
"traditional" dark blue text with a light blue logo as a watermark.

We have a blue line drawing "logo" set up as 100% saturation (in
Illustrator) and saved as Logo.jpg that we want to use as a watermark.

If we create the watermark WITHOUT washout, the watermark is solid,
intrusive and unacceptable.

If we create the watermark WITH washout, the watermark is faintly there,
almost invisible and unusable.

I suppose the question is, how do I make the washedout watermark slightly
more intense?
