Keith,
Thanks for posting this information. I am using the Dan Weldon
screen, and it seems to be working fine for me so far.... I'm still
experimenting with my printer resolution though.
I'm still not clear about one thing with your work. Did I understand
you to say that you don't use digital inkjet, but only imagesetter
positives? Sorry if I'm being dense...

This website maybe of interest to anyone interested in buying an
aquatint screen. http://www.elizabethdove.com/screens/index.htm
Elizabeth Dove has written a chapter on how these screens are made in
Keith Howard's book, Non-Toxic Intaglio Printmaking. The
"stochaistic"pattern is originally created from a piece of Japanese
anti-glare glass but the screens are output to film by imagesetter. I
haven't used these screens, but the process sounds interesting.
I bought mine from Dan Welden and it's held up well over the years,
although it wasn't cheap. I maybe wrong, but I always thought it was
output by Duane at Copygraphics.
Keith.
