Cool. I guess i have some testing to do! A couple other questions if it's no hassle...

How could i create a positive for this "graduated screen"? I imagine since there are 13 steps, with two endponits, that i could create 13 step shades of grey and print them at my regular frequency and screen angle, and analyze the point of complete fill and of no print to adjust my transfer values accordingly... I am embarrassed to say that i don't know how i'd go about creating the grey steps! Any suggestions? I use Corel and Photoshop.

The other question: i am currently saving a tif in photoshop,
placing it in corel,
converting to greyscale bitmap,
printing to device ind ps driver,
opening prn file in gsview,
printing to the R1800 for my positive.
This in order to achieve halftones without a RIP.

Will those transfer values remain on their way to corel and beyond?

or

could i print to a "postscript driver" from photoshop cs3, and bring that ps file directly into GSview?

Edit: By the way, Congrats on the big black shirt!
