1) Take a scan that has a good, wide tonal range.
2) Resize it to 1/6 if a page.
3) Output the page 6 times at different line screens 
    for instance; 55-65-75-85-90-100 line screen.
4) Paste up (yes, I said PASTE UP) a page with one
of each output so you have a single page with six
different halftones.
5) Make a TEST PRINT on the copier of your choice.
6) NOTE which HT gives the best copy on THAT MACHINE.
7) Keep test page for future reference and use every time
you make copies on a different machine.
