Given the fact that several RIPs have problems to get the
dithering good (banding) at the highest resolution of the latest
Epsons I don't see the disadvantage of the Epson screening
either. Not to mention that Scanvec Amiable still hasn't a good
driver for the 7600/9600, one that includes the grey ink. That
there's a relation between using Epson dithering and less
transparent colour control is another matter. Gimp-print's
dithering is alright so what is actually the reason that RIPs
show problems there ? Good dithering/weaving takes time in RIP
development and later on in actual printing, that could be a good
reason.
