Spot Meets Dot (Halftone Proofing)

Add substrate concerns to the mix and color precision becomes even tougher to achieve. To maximize its range of colors available on proof, Schawk invested in Kodak Polychrome Graphics' Recipe Color software for the Approval XP proofer. Winner of a 2000 GATF Intertech Award, Kodak's Recipe Color creates exact matches of Pantone colors using up to eight process colors, plus metallic gold, silver, and bronze. The Approval XP is a digital halftone proofing device showing color traps, halftone dot structures, and the effect of dot gain.
