Digital presses have less trouble with registration, but they aren't any better at getting the line frequencies higher.

It doesn't matter what equipment you use. Small artwork with lots of fine detail reduces poorly; if it contains halftones, it reduces even more poorly. > I've done several of these type of jobs on the iGen3 we have here at > my office.
