So I assumed that Fiery had implemented their own screening at the RIP and
it is resident there, whereas the quickdraw driver functions independently
of the RIP and is resident on the MacIntosh. I deduced that the quickdraw
screening was better by looking at output samples and comparing them by
eye.
Not much science there, and I most definately could be wrong.
It may just be a matter of the K generation in the Fiery. The K generation
for these printers is best when pushed back pretty far into the lightness
range. Something after 50% would be good.
If you are making a custom output profile and have control over this, you'll
be amazed at the difference it can make. If not, try simply controlling it
in Photoshop when converting RGB to CMYK.
It never ceases to amaze me how K generation and pleasing color have an
effect on the perception of screening and resolution.
