Glenn,
>From your comments it sounds like Creo didn't offer any of Scitex's
screening technologies. I'm curious if anyone here has an idea as to why
that is. Was Creo satisfied with what it had (what screening options, by
the way, does it now offer with Prinergy)? Was it too large a technical
hurdle to port it? Was it political?

I really did and still do consider Class Screening to represent a true
pinnacle of imaging quality- Superior to the all the earlier screening
technologies (you mentioned Hell and it's quirks, Agfa systems never got
the quality I needed- Screen and Barco worked fairly well, but
Postscript screening was barbaric). Other parts of the Scitex workflows
were certainly lacking, but I was consistently amazed at the flexibility
we had to build any kind of screenset we needed, from 250 line all the
way down to 33, and get perfect, moire free output. The 1-bit TIFF based
junk that passes for quality output in current workflows seems like a
huge step backwards to me- powerful for it's ability to open up
workflows and drive many different kinds of output, but quality? Not
part of the equation.
