Screens are Screaming for Attention

Cicogna points out that all the dots in :Sublima are aligned along the established AM paths, even in the FM portions. This is done to eliminate "crossover noise or technology intersections that were found in earlier hybrid approaches."

With this technology, :Sublima can achieve line screens up to 340 lpi, and by "taking press characteristics into account, it will never produce a dot that the press can't hold," says Cicogna. Furthermore, he states that flexo line screens can be significantly improved without having to make changes in the anilox roll. "A converter, for example, printing an 85 line screen can increase resolution to 120-plus line screen without changing out the anilox roll."
