It occurred to me a picture might help!
Attached is a scan from my proof. It was made at 600 dpi. While I recognize the pitfalls of digitally scanning a half-toned image, I can state that the attached image quite faithfully represents the linscreen patterns that I see in the CMYK proof when viewed with a magnifying glass. There may be some slight scanner-induced moire, however the apparent resolution of the CMYK print in the scan is not affected. Also note this is not a colour-managed scan, as I'm interested in the resolution issue at this point.
All of the text and graphics shown in the scan were originally created in the PDF input file using vector-scaled fonts---none of these were rasterized graphics (unless this company's PDF-creating software did it on it's own, and they claim no).
What lpi setting on the hp Indigo 5000 does this appear to be? Is the text "sharpness" what you would expect?
Thanks,
KDJ
