SCREENING ALTERNATIVES -- Screen Out the Competition

More GATF Research

GATF has since done another stochastic research project that compared printability and runnability of the screening on coated and uncoated paper versus 133-lpi conventional screens, reports John T. Lind, director of research. "We measured the amount of ink consumed by stochastic and conventional screens and, depending on how much weight was removed from the curves, we were able to show that stochastic printing consumes less ink—assuming a constant density for all printing conditions," he says.
