Apparently the eye is most sensitive to lines/banding when the lines are
horizontal or vertical.  Diagonal lines are harder for us to see.  According
to my reading that is one reason halftone screening is at 45 degrees.  As
such, the ideal might be to rotate the image 45 degrees and print it.  This
wastes paper, of course, and I'm not sure how much difference it really
makes.  One of these days maybe I'll see if unsuspecting viewers can tell
any difference.
