SCREENING ALTERNATIVES -- Screen Out the Competition

Agfa's newest screening solutions is Sublima XM, which it classifies as a cross-modulated system. It uses AM (Agfa Balanced Screening) in the midtones, but smoothly transitions to FM screening in highlight and shadow areas. The smaller FM dots are aligned using AM screen angles. Sublima supports 210-, 240-, 280- or 340-lpi screen rulings at 2,400 dpi with 21 micron spots. The company also continues to offer its CristalRaster stochastic screening.
