QTR-Quadtone RIP

Thanks. Wouldn't "Bite" be provided by either the gravure screen or aquatint. The gravure screen is a separate exposure, the aquatint is a physical entity. I am not clear how the gravure positive is made differently in those terms. The screening inherent in inkjet film has never seemed to have any noticeable difference from analog film.
