In particular, thermal % transfer and direct thermal tend to be better with standard ordered % screening methods. Some laser printers may produce "smoother" % looking gray shades with Stochastic halftoning. Try it, and if % you like it, use it. % Note that this /Default halftone can be overridden by PostScript % operators that set the screening or halftone (such as setscreen). % To make Stochastic Halftone be "sticky" so that other screening and % halftone setting in the subsequent PostScript will be ignored, use: % -c "<< /HalftoneMode 1 >> setuserparams" % on the command line prior to the file to be processed. For example, % % gs stocht.ps -c "<< /HalftoneMode 1 >> setuserparams" -f examples/tiger.eps % Alternatively, the command to set the /HalftoneMode userparam can be % concatenated to this file (see below). % ===================================================================== % Try to get the previously defined resource { /StochasticDefault /Halftone findresource } stopped { pop pop % Need to load the Stochastic Halftone using the lib file (ht_ccsto.ps) runlibfile } if % If we didn't error out by now, then go ahead and define the /Default /StochasticDefault /Halftone findresource /Default exch /Halftone defineresource sethalftone % Use the halftone % Uncomment the next line to make the Stocahstic halftoning be "sticky" % << /HalftoneMode 1 >> setuserparams
