Please, give me control over halftone screens within the design rather than through the print dialog box! I often need to do 1 color jobs where elements have differnt shading defined by halftone dot patterns. Currently this can be done through the print dialog box BUT when I print, all elements that should be solid black at 100% opacity print with the dot pattern too.

I'm going nuts here. Most projects that need this treatment are silkscreen on fabric or flexograph on plastic film bags. In both cases the ink used in the print process is thick and needs those large dots to print correctly.
