PhoenixPage does use an enhanced screening mode which makes available more
gray levels and finer screening.

#include <blatantplug.tek>

Tek has been shipping enhanced screening in color printers, both in our
clone level-1 product, and in our genuine Adobe level-2 instruments for
years.  We offer 200+ gray levels, and l.p.i. numbers up to 80 (at the same
time).  Some products also have Tek's proprietary FinePoint error diffusion
as well.  We offer 4 different marking engine technologies (all color), with
a wide array of PS RIP/controller combinations, all featuring various
enhanced screening options.
