I have had success with using the same screen angle for the Cyan and Yelo
and have been looking into the Rampage technology for screening.
Rampage is - where it is at - in RIPping technology these days
and their screening is quite versatile letting the prepress use whatever screening
they care to, at the last minute.
I personally like the round dot for "standard" output.

a hybrid with AM screening in the midtones, FM screening in thehighlights and shadows,
and a combination of the two in the transition phase from AM to FM.

I'm doing an informal survey about which halftone dot shape has gained
widespread acceptance in printing these days? Is it Eucledian or Elliptical?
I suspect Eucledian is probably more widespread because it is the default
dot shape in most PostScript RIP. But I can't say for sure.
And what is the current practice when printing portraits and skintone: I
gather that placing the magenta in the angle of the black gives "better"
results. Is there any truth to this? Or is that all taken care by the more
advanced screening techniques such as Irrational Tangent?
I was searching through the SWOP 10th Edition booklet in the hope that it
would have a recommendation on screening but, alas, nothing. Unless I missed
it :(
