Yea right, that's just gotta be it Jerry. I'm sure "he" can't tell
the difference between film grain and the 3000 dot pattern, or 
recognize a moîre pattern.
By the way, good quad workflows on a 3000 do not result in remotely
visible dots.
I found the whole dilemma interesting, and exploring different
workflows to address different print esthetcs interesting, 
and I thought this was the list for that.
WasI lost?
