A file with 4-colors with pdflrf has been made already (and made available in the article), but by reducing the colors, the images are more washed out compared to rasterfarian. It does creates smaller sized files though.
The trick of rasterfarian is not just the sharpness that dilation dpi is huge and it's not simply reducing the colors of an image, it remaps it with the 4-color pallette.
Also, it uses one of the highest-quality image processing tools available, netpbm. I don't know which one pdflrf uses.
I believe you made the sourcecode available at first. You still want to do that? Maybe I can take a look and give you some pointers on where the quality-enhancing stuff are?
