4 AM Screening 2400 dpi / 175 lpi Co n v e n t i o n a l Screening

Higher quality, easier to print Fujifilm advances deliver improvements to traditional AM and FM screening.

Fujifilm brings two new screening products to their users, revolutionary AM screening Co-Res and next generation FM screening TAFFETA.

Co-Res SCREENING The ultimate in AM screening technology, delivering balance between printing ease and high resolution plus higher productivity.

When using it with Fujifilm Violet CTP Setter Luxel V / V x - 9600 C T P at 1,200 dpi, you can get quality of 175 lpi printing equivalent to 2,400 dpi output, which results in boosting productivity

FEATURES <Co-Res SCREENING 1200 dpi/175 lpi> A speed of 43 plates per hour (B1) is possible with equal image quality to 2400 dpi/175 lpi output <Co-Res SCREENING 2400 dpi/300 lpi> Minimal rosette

5 Higher quality, easier to print Fujifilm advances deliver improvements to traditional AM and FM screening. Although CTP can be considered an established process, further advances in technology bring new benefits to users. Fujifilm brings two new screening products to their users, revolutionary AM screening Co-Res and next generation FM screening TAFFETA. These together with established Fujifilm Quality Screening provide users with the widest choice and ability to deliver superb printed results. Co-Res SCREENING The ultimate in AM screening technology, delivering balance between printing ease and high resolution plus higher productivity. Co-Res SCREENING (Common Resolution Screening) is a screening product that enables the output of high screen rulings using low output resolutions. When using it with Fujifilm Violet CTP Setter Luxel V / V x C T P at 1,200 dpi, you can get quality of 175 lpi printing equivalent to 2,400 dpi output, which results in boosting productivity of V/Vx-9600CTP from 32 plates per hour (B1) to 43 plates per hour. FEATURES <Co-Res SCREENING 1200 dpi/175 lpi> A speed of 43 plates per hour (B1) is possible with equal image quality to 2400 dpi/175 lpi output <Co-Res SCREENING 2400 dpi/300 lpi> Minimal rosette pattern Smoother fleshtones, tints and gradations Superior highlight tone reproduction Less ink consumption than traditional 175 lpi printing INSIDE Co-Res SCREENING MULTI-TEMPLATE TECHNOLOGY At its core, Co-Res SCREENING takes advantage of the way human perception works with colour and density. Fujifilm s Multi-Template Technology is a completely new way of arranging the halftone dots that are the size equivalent of 64-gradation dots within the smallest area the human eye can perceive. Rather than monolithic dots native to AM screening, in Multi-Template Technology each of the 64 dots consists of a 3 x 3 matrix that effectively increases the number of grey levels by a factor of nine. The result is that through the use of Co-Res SCREENING, printers can achieve 256 levels of grey with 300 lpi screens at 2,400 dpi. This yields markedly smoother images and gradations, and greater image detail. MOIRÉ SUPPRESSION TECHNOLOGY Generating 300 lpi halftone dots with lower resolutions can be susceptible to singlecolour moiré and patterning artifacts caused by conflicts with the screen frequency and scanning pitch, a challenge until now unsolved in the industry. Fujifilm engineers have solved this problem with powerful Moiré Suppression Technology that anticipates when and where single-colour moiré will occur and alters the dot structure to effectively eliminate any noticeable moiré pattern.

TAFFETA20 New generation FM screening technology adds value with such features as complete elimination of moiré, better colour saturation. But that's not all.

FEATURES Moiré and rosette are completely eliminated Improved primary/secondary colour saturation Improved image detail reproduction Printing with more than 4 colours Reduced waste Improved texture

original screening design technology. Computerized quantitative analysis of graininess and printing adaptability is used to control the screening pattern by placing dots in optimal position.

6 TAFFETA20 New generation FM screening technology adds value with such features as complete elimination of moiré, better colour saturation. But that's not all. Thanks to Fujifilm original technology, TAFFETA20 FM screening goes further than ordinary FM screening by reducing unevenness and graininess and also improved printability. FEATURES Moiré and rosette are completely eliminated Improved primary/secondary colour saturation Improved image detail reproduction Printing with more than 4 colours Reduced waste Improved texture Less ink consumption than traditional 175 lpi printing FUJIFILM FM SCREENING TECHNOLOGY ADVANTAGES Incorporating Co-Res SCREENING's simulation technology* has brought about the evolution of Fujifilm original screening design technology. Computerized quantitative analysis of graininess and printing adaptability is used to control the screening pattern by placing dots in optimal position. The following technologies enable this: 1. Graininess Optimization Algorithm based on simulation using visual characteristics 2. Screening Pattern Optimization Algorithm for both minimizing graininess and maximizing printability * Simulation based on the perception characteristics of the human eye.
