Thank you all for your valuable input, we are working as a plate bureau house and we do not have our own printing facility. We are using Eagle Rip and it is capable of ripping a job at 9600 dpi.

Hi All, New to prepress, want to know the optimum grey levels that we should set in rip according to our CTP DPI and job LPI, Currently, we are ripping files at 4800 DPI and Same DPI is set in our Flexo CTP. Grey levels are set at 4096.

Thank you all for your response, a friend of mine is doing graphics for the automobile industry as a vendor and currently, they are sourcing films from an old film bureau. They want to do these films in-house now so he's looking for a better alternative. This thread will surely help.
