I use the Ultra premium photo paper setting and the Photo PRM. It gives a good dense black. No rip.

But, what about halftones?

Yep, that's one old technique that just keeps on keepin' on...

Steve

Perhaps, like me, he's lucky enough to rarely need them (or uses the old bitmap work-around).

Yes, I pretty much do spot color vector art.

Let's be careful to not confuse anyone here with these two terms. Neither "spot color" or "vector" precludes the use of halftones.
Spot color is merely an ink either used out of a can, or color mixed before printing, rather than blended on the press by printing CYMK process like your desktop printer does.
Vector is of course, merely mathematical plotting of points that does not rely on pixels, and can be scaled infinitely larger without adding the "jaggies". Vector objects can be filled with varying tints of spot colors by the use of halftones.

Yes, you are right, of course. Good call. We've got lurkers who need educated.

(Sounds like a disease, lurkers.)

"Better get some lotion on that or you'll get a full fledged case of LURKERS!

There goes Frog again, always thinking of the youngsters!

Seriously, your definition is Spot on. We've got a girl or two up front who want to learn more about the process.
