(v13) Pattern screen system parameters

This page applies to Harlequin v13.1r0 and later; both Harlequin Core and Harlequin MultiRIP.

PoorPattern (pattern screens)

Boolean Default: false

When true, this parameter turns off the RIP’s automatic pattern screen detection. Depending on resolution and accuracy of the application generating the screen, this may cause screens used as patterns to have random extra pixels, or the pattern cells to be displayed smaller than intended, or on a continuous tone output device to be displayed as a shade of gray.

The parameter is present only to provide for strict PostScript-language compatibility.
