    Auraia screening

    Agreed. Andy Cave is a genius. What is amazing is how things still stay smooth with minor miss registration. I worked for Agfa, we had CrystalRaster ( which was used in marketing materials for promoting Pantone Hexachrome ) but - comically, as anyone might know, kinda tough to have a moiré...
