We are testing scanning in already scanned jobs and I took a job and scanned it at 3 target resolutions (1200, 600, 300 dpi) and set up a plate and output it to our Agfa Acento II platesetter.
Even though the files look great on the screen, it looks like either the RIP (Xitron Navigator 8.3.1) or the imagesetter is applying another screen and creating a rosette pattern. This pattern is much more apparent in the higher resolution than it is in the lower resolution. It almost looks like the 300 is close to perfect. Almost makes me wonder if 150 dpi won't even be better.
Any idea why this might be happening?
