In the old orthofilm days, a double-dot halftone was a technique to make an improved one-color halftone by shooting two different black halftones (at different angles and exposures) to enhance the tonal range and tonal properties of a single-color image. Two questions:

1. Can current standard output devices (filmsetters, platesetters, etc.) produce a single-dot halftone that is equal to the double-dot halftone?

2. If not, is there a way to produce a digital double-dot halftone? I can make duotones quite nicely in Photoshop, but how can I make a d-d ht from it? Or if not that, how can I produce a really good, crisp, subtle halftone?

Thanks
