Miles,
Don't use the DA to scan with! Scan out of Digital Darkroom, using the
Microtek "Pouch" to drive it. Then adjust your brightness and contrast
right on the screen and "flash" the picture by modifying the graymap to
drop off the top and bottom 10% of the map. Remap to image, and you'll
have a beautiful digital halftone, pre-set to compensate for linotronic dot
gain.
(There's another message from me here on the board somewhere detailing
this a bit more lucidly…)
