Auraia DMS (Digitally Modulated Screening) is a patented intelligent screening technology designed for the lithographic offset printing environment, that uses a unique and smart algorithm to lay down carefully controlled and robust dots on plate. The result is faster make-ready, and a more reliable production experience, so that you can print more chargeable jobs!
In addition, Auraia DMS is proven to reduce costs compared to conventional screening technologies, delivering real-world ink savings, as well as a reduction in waste, water, and energy. Crucially, there is no compromise on quality – Auraia DMS is held in high regard for its ability to produce photo-real image fidelity in stunning magazines, catalogs and books.
Quad has been using Auraia DMS for more than six years across its global heat-set printing operations including the United States, Peru, Colombia and Mexico, as well as at its European operations in Poland, and today Auraia DMS is its screening technology of choice.

Auraia’s intelligent dots....
Auraia’s clever algorithm ensures that no dot is too small to plate or print yet still not large enough to be visible. The result is visually stunning ultra high-definition printed magazines and catalogues, not possible to achieve with conventional screening methods. No longer are printers restricted by problems with moiré, misregistration, rosette drift, color shifts, banding, dot gain variation, dot or shadow loss and so on, but are free to do what they do best – meet their customer expectations with ‘beautiful’ presswork.
Auraia DMS is the smart choice for publication printers and is proven to reduce costs, delivering real-world ink savings as well as a reduction in waste, water, and energy.
