    HDS Screening question

    Sorry if I'm not very clear... I have put in a call to Global Graphics for assistance as well. Before using this screening we used Fuji's Taffeta at 25 microns. HDS medium at 2400 dpi is half the size of the 25m Taffeta.. I believe the chart you have posted is misleading. No way is HDS medium at...

    HDS Screening question

    Only thing about the Global Graphics instructions, is that it talks about medium at 2X2 pixels. I have tried 2400 dpi using medium HDS and the result was a very small dot (probably about the size of 300-350 line screen AM dot)... the meaning of 2X2 is puzzling to me, but I think it means 2 dots.

    Linerize or not to Linerize plates... that is the question

    Thanks guys for all your thoughtful opinions. I feared this question might create a divided house, and... after reading all your suggestions and questioning other sources I have landed on the opinion of conducting my next G7 certifications without a linear curve. Two points that convinced me...

    Linerize or not to Linerize plates... that is the question

    OK, I have been getting some mixed results lately. My company has always linerized our plates before applying a press compensation curve. Now, I'm hearing that many printers are forgoing this process and just applying the compensation curve directly to wild plates, what's your thoughts about...

    Reporting/tracking software for the pressroom

    I am looking for some reporting/tracking software that is compatible with our x-rite eXact handheld device. What I envision is: A press operator would read color patches into the eXact and via wifi or bluetooth, send this information to software which would compare it to "G7" data and allow...
