Hello Gerhard!
Yes, I'm understanding the question. But I suppose that the the difference
between dithering algorithms will be minor in resection to the presence or the
absence of dithering in general.
It just will be much more convenient for me to have in ArgyllCMS printtarg the
dithering ability like in Adobe Photoshop.
