That is where we disagree. I believe that it is the effect that is
halftoning...and how you arrive at that effect does not mean it still isn't
halftoning. I think I've made that really clear that is my belief ;-)
Also, as I said, my Epson printers have "dither..." etc. as selections under
"halftone".
I ordered a number of reference books/papers that'll probably take a week or
so to get here. Hopefully reading through them will give me a better
understanding one way or the other.
It's kind of like saying the resolution of your monitor is 1280x1024, when
that has really nothing to do with resolution (needs a linear reference, as
in per inch to be resolution)...one of those industry mis...somethings...
