Subject: [Leica] [VOT] half tone printing
From: Sam Carleton <scarleton@miltonstreet.com>

I have no clue what I am talking about, nor where to turn, thus I
thought of the LUG.  I just got some business cards printed.  The cards
have a B&W image on them and shading behind some of the lettering. 
First off, the cards do look VERY good, but...  

I can see all those little dots in the picture and in the shading.  When
I asked the owner about how to get things printed without dots, he had
no clue.  I know that the whole dot thing is very standard and is how
many if not all magazines are printed.  But I also know that there is
some way to printing a continues tone, what we photographers are use to
looking at in our images.

First off what are these two styles of printed called?  Does anyone know
if and where I can go to get B&W printed printed with a continues tone?

Thanks!

Sam Carleton
