I'm trying to print out large block letters in the background of some linotronics artwork that will be taken to an offset printer for reproduction. I produced the tone originally at 10% in Adobe Illustrator, which Ii believe produces Postscript output. The tone I'm trying to get in the final prints is approximately 10% or a little lighter (8% - 10% would be fine). I'm told that the postscript fill value for 10% doesn't correspond to the printer's fill values, so, in the brute force method, I have to go up to at least 20% to get the tone picked up evenly. Does anyone know what fill values I should use to approximate a printer's values? They seem to go in 5% increments. Help! Ben
