Reader Reviews
Yea, I wrote it. Yea, the color sig has horrible color management (by the printer) and the printer had a lot more dot gain than they told me they had. But it is a pretty book, IMHO. It is the best source for practical knowledge for those of us in the trenches banging out dozens of halftones and separations a week or more. "Real World Scanning and Halftones" may have more depth, but it is harder to access and has no skill development projects. This book is much more practical with twenty skill exams designed to develop specific skills you will need almost daily.
