A Line-Screen is used in the printing industry. It describes how many lines per inch a dot-screen is
rendered.
This applies to half-toning both on laser-printers and
offset-presses.
For
example:
a
newspaper may use a 65 line screen
a
high speed press like a Heidelberg may use a 150 line
screen.
most
laser-printers use a 87.6, or a 106.7 line screen.
This
setting is a carry-over from Post-Script, but I know that
when
you use Acrobat Distiller to distill a
postscript file that has an embedded Line-Screen,
it
also get's embedded in the PDF.
The
functionality is there, but the question is where.
