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.
