park,
I have found that evaluating on screen at 50% gets you in the ballbut like to check on a CMYK proof if in doubt.
Richard Since the standard advice with USM has always seemed to me to be check at 100% on screen do I guess your 50% screen advice assumes a 300ppi file is being used and printed on 150lpi screen? Logically for regular litho work this seems like very good advice.
Dear Paul
Basically yes. Seems rather better than taking 100% and then having to make an educated guess as to how over the top visually it should be to be 'right' in print. Anyway I like to carry out sharpening to files converted to CMYK rather than to the RGB prior to conversion. As you will know there is no standard way to sharpen....there are many permutations that can be used. Definitely not push button stuff if you are fussy.
Cheers
