Hello Jerry,

I have found some advantage.  In some cases, usually involving a large
smooth area that happens to be in the tonal range where dither banding
appears, the dither banding, while not visible without a loupe, can
still influence the overall look.  I've found that sometimes having
the banding go in the other direction makes a difference.  I have
several custom paper sizes defined just for that purpose.  


Regards,
Clayton
