The key word is linescreen (AM, "rosette", "cluster" halftone) here - things
are different with FM (stochastic, error diffusion, "scatter") halftones.
There is no hard and fast rule for image resolution when using FM
halftoning, but my personal rule of thumb is 200 pppi max (pixels per
printed inch, i.e. at final print size) for a good quality FM halftone on a
six-color CMYKcm inkjet printer at 600 ppi rendering (i.e. a 1:3 ratio).
Your mileage may vary. Note that this applies only to images (photos); for
vector content in general you should use the maximum resolution, i.e. The
rendering resolution of the rip (which is not necessarily the same as the
advertised print resolution).
