Re: need halftone plug-in for PSP

Paul,
In my previous note, I failed to mention that I often take the output from 
my laser printer to be photocopied, so I have to get laser printouts that 
simulate halftones well enough for the photocopier to use; otherwise the 
copies look terrible even if the originals look great.

Because I've succeeded in doing that, I consider greyscale to be 
*functionally* equivalent to halftones, even though technically they are 
different. (Ah, how well I remember the years I spent dealing with real, 
old-fashioned halftones before personal computers came along.)

On the other hand, I'd like to improve the printing masters I take for 
copying. So if you find a way to produce real halftones from PSP or any 
other (inexpensive) package, please share it! I keep thinking that surely 
it's the sort of thing that a graphics package should be able to do.

Cheers, Jean
