I'm currently printing (Ventura Publisher - Windows) greyscale images
on a 300 DPI Posctscript printer. This is fine for preview purposes.
For final printing we send the Postscript text to an external
1200 DPI typesetter and we let the printer create halftones using
whatever techniques they have. Final results are good.

My question is how would the output look if the greyscale images
were done directly by the Postscript typesetter? My scanner can
do 300DPI with 16 grey levels so I recognize that an upgrade might
be required at that end.

Thanks very much for any comments.
