Dots Do It Right
Getting the right dot structure for its flexo plates was critical for CSW to support both its label and corrugated clientele.
The other undesirable factor in traditional digital platemaking is the so-called "bump curve," which compensates for loss of highlight detail by increasing the size of the highlight dots so they will hold on the plate. "This technique became the industry standard to combat the effect of oxygen-induced dot erosion, but it also compressed the tonal range, especially in the highlights, "Skrzynski notes. "We no longer need to use a bump curve, since our plates are linear."
