Output resolution 200dpi
Select halftone bitmap image
Screen angle for one screen seperation is 45 degrees
Dot shape is elipse

Before printing to film, print out a laser version to determine if the dot pattern lines up properly. It is impossible to predict the line patterns on screen because of the dot patterns on the monitor.
