DIGITAL PLATESETTERS -- Growing by Twos and Fours

Acquiring the platesetter (in July of 2000) also afforded the company an opportunity to explore Staccato stochastic screening, according to Scott. "We liked it well enough to switch to Staccato as our standard screening (except on its 12x18˝ Ryobi Itek press)," he says. "Staccato on the Anthem plates at 240 lpi looks as good as waterless printing at 300 lpi."
