Sources for stochastic screens



I called around and found a guy here in Boulder who seems to know what he's talking about in terms of outputting an 1800 dpi 80% density stochastic screen on him imagesetter. I'm meeting with him next week to show him the screen I'm using to see if he can accurately reproduce it. He said typically they output at much higher rez natively, but can make it output at 1800.

I actually called a company that sells imagesetters in New Jersey first and asked them if they could recommend any of their clients. They just said, look under 'typesetting' in the phone book. I was dubious, but looked and there was one entry, for this one company. Might try it in your own town...and help keep those imagesetters in business! In the meantime I plan to work with this guy a little to get at least one screen made, and if he proves reliable, and can give me the screen I've been using without issues, I'll post their contact info later in the week.

Hooray!
