Several items that can use FM screening technology

Although FM screening technology still has some unresolved issues, there are many benefits to using this technology in many image processing applications. In the following items you can decide whether you can use FM screening technology:

1. Direct plate or direct printing. FM screening requires extra attention to the quality of the environment in order to ensure the control of network expansion. The use of a direct plate maker or a direct printing system can reduce the steps that affect the quality of the process and thus help keep the dot size constant.

2. High color. FM screening technology is outstanding in the performance of fine tone transitions (especially highlights and shadows). In order to preserve the tone details of high-level color images, it is best to use FM dot technology from the input to the output.

3. Images with complex details. The use of amplitude-modulated dots in printing often does not perform well with very fine detail images. Using FM dots allows for extremely small dot sizes to help keep the most complex details.

4.HiFi high-fidelity color and spot color printing. HiFi Color improves print gamut by using plates of four or more colors. As we have mentioned, printing with more than four colors and printing with AM dots will increase the risk of overprinting and moiré. FM screening will eliminate moire, and it is most suitable for HiFi color and CMYK based on adding metal, fluorescent or gloss printing plates.
