Screening New Releases

Adoption of CTP-based production, regardless of laser type, has been seen as enabling use of alternative screening technology. At Drupa, Agfa and Creo reported strong interest in their advanced screening solutions (Sublima and Staccato, respectively) for commercial printing applications. They both also introduced spot color replacement systems (Agfa Alterno and Creo Spotless 4 and X) that combine color conversion science with advanced screening systems—plus additional ink colors, in some cases.
