Scaling engines will get you there too.

Once a week, I read from Sports Illustrated on a subcarrier service for the
blind, so I get to see every issue of a magazine that I would otherwise
ignore. I assume (and we all know what our sixth grade teachers said about
that) that about 100% of the photos are digital. i've seen some of the
nastiest double trucks since they went digital that I've ever seen. Taken
from that limited sample, it would seem that digital goes to crap in a
really nasty way that film doesn't.

That's what seems to make the Durst printers so good. I'm convinced that
thnigs like RIP's are a lot more important than lasers vs. led's
