Staccato FM25 - Uncoated Boards

Hey All

We currently print on uncoated boards at 25 Micron.

Iam little concerned we are struggling to print FM25, I really think its too fine for uncoated paper, make the print look quite dark and full.

Kodak Quote FM25 = 325lpi.

Do you think i should go to a lower micron or even go to AM150/175 for uncoated boards


Hopefully this makes sense.
 
Re: Staccato FM25 - Uncoated Boards

Here are some general recommendations based on typical usage by our customers:

Publications (heatset web): 25-36 micron
Commercial sheetfed: 20 -25 micron
Newspaper (coldset web): 25-36 micron
Packaging: 20-36 micron
Specialty: 10 micron & 20.1 micron (".1" indicates first order Staccato)

As with any high frequency halftone screening, substrate characteristics and press conditions will impact compatibility in specific cases.

best, gordo
