Screening is a critical factor in print quality
This is part one of a two part series on screening for flexography.
In this “introductory level” presentation, we’ll look at some of the basics for flexo screening – including resolution, dot shapes, screen screen angles moires and more.
Well conclude with a look at transitional (AM / FM) screens as well as cell patterns designed for ink transfer.
Key Take-Aways
- Colors are reproduced on a flexo press by “screens” of halftone dots of different sizes.
- The basic parameters of a screen are the dot shape, screen ruling, and the screen angle.
- The CTP device resolution has an impact on dot quality.
- Two screening categories are AM and FM. Screens that combine these two are called transitional or “hybrid” screens.
- Screens can be made to transfer ink more uniformly buy imaging smaller “cells” into the larger dots.
There will be a live Q&A section at the end of the session.
