Sounds to me like the designer only trust his monitor when it comes to
proofing? But it's not true that a monitor will render images the same as a
press, that's plain ludicrous and fraught with ignorance. Don't get sucked
into that corner. Unless this designer has Romote Director from ICS??? Which
I'd be surprised he has. Even then, to my knowledge, Remote Director can't
show the screen dot, can it! The monitor would have to have such an
incredibly high resolution as to celarly show 150 lpi rosettes? Such a
monitor does not exist yet if you ask me.
