Graphic Arts Center -- The Quality Quotient

The prepress department, which is 100 percent digital, served as the leading North America beta site for Creo's Staccato 10 screening technology. The Staccato process produces high fidelity, artifact-free images that exhibit fine detail without halftone rosettes, screening moiré, gray level limitations or abrupt jumps in tone. It reduces variations in dot gain, wet trap and color contamination from paper. The random nature of the Staccato halftone patterns also means that misregistration does not degrade the look of the halftone, nor doesit cause overall color shifts in presswork.
