A sample image link follows. Flatten the linked sample and convert to bitmap mode at 2400ppi using 50% threshold method.
Test print at the highest resolution available at 100% magnification/same size.
This uses a background "stipple" of 45° round dots at 120 lpi frequency.
The text is using a "line" pattern at 45° at 120 lpi frequency.
