SCREENING SYSTEMS -- Spotting an Opportunity

Since the company couldn't tell customers about the process, it obviously couldn't charge a premium for the higher line screening. "I don't see us charging a premium for it in the future, either. Sublima gives us a competitive edge, without adding costs," Monfette says.

Getting Calibrated

"Once you go through the initial step of calibrating your process, there's not a lot of difference in running any of the line screens—ABS, 210 lpi or 240 lpi. In fact, Agfa gives you the option to set up multiple line screens with multiple curves on the same press sheet," he notes.
