There is a more complete discussion of this topic in the most recent (Third issue 1987 = Vol 1, No 3) PostScript Language Journal. It goes into derivation details and talks about alignment of halftone screens. One thing that is discussed there that Paul's code doesn't do is "undercolor removal". This is necessary because the inks aren't pure, thus magenta ink typically appears to be contaminated by yellow, for example. The code is similar to that used for black removal. Anyway, the PSLJ is available from The PSLJ P.O. Box 5763 Parsippany, NJ 07054 Single issues are $5.
