For our newspaper paste-ups we need 65 line screen halftones for good reproduction. The newspaper printing plant doesn't yet have digital to film or plate. We still give them paste-ups output from a paper printer that they use a process camera to make negs from.

At one time I could rely on Postscript printers to provide the linescreens I wanted. But my recently purchased Xerox Phaser 6130 lacks this ability.

For my uses the present-day Postscript printers seem vastly inferior to the Postscript printers of 10 years ago.

Is there still an affordable Postscript printer on the market that can meet my needs?
