rw said... Dear Gordon! Great posts! I prefer to be realistic, so I like controlling press through relative print contrasts using a spectrodensi to optimize ink usage in print, additionally applying FM or XM screening. Combining digital screen with high performance pro lines of printing ink for example Vanson Pro with less solution consumption which reads in higher solid densities, higher contrasts with less ink coverage (15-20%). Sorry rescreening a FM or XM screen is often too complex to accomplish under production pressure. What are your reduction readings on long run by the posted techniques?
