CTP FIELD REPORTS -- Set to Compete

The quality of the platesetter's screening proved to be another concern, the prepress director reports. "We're located fairly close to Agfa geographically, so we had ended up helping the company test its screening. We thought its ABS (Agfa Balanced Screening) screening was excellent, which convinced us to go look at the platesetter. The screening offers more levels of gray at output, is a little smoother and provides a nice rosette," he says. The printer is now working on implementing the manufacturer's Sublima hybrid screening, Monfette adds.
