Print Quality
At the heart of the Auraia screening engine are a number of screening breakthroughs.
The carefully controlled dots produce presswork equivalent to a traditional 400-500 lpi screen for commercial printers and a 200-250 lpi screen for newspaper printers. Incredible detail is maintained in images from highlight to shadow detail. Issues related to dot gain variation are eliminated, flat screen tint builds are smooth and in addition, it’s easy to plate and print.
Ease of Use
Auraia DM screening is available as a plugin for the popular Harlequin RIP; versions 8.3, 9 and 10 (both 32 & 64 bit versions of the RIP are supported on Mac and PC). Auraia DMS provides genuine 16 bit screening with an incredible 50,000+ gray levels per color.
Plate Calibration
Plate calibration should be performed as usual using the ‘FM’ mode on a plate reader, if available. The XRite iCPlate2 plate reader is recommended.
Press Dot Gain Curves
Press dot gain curves applied to the plate required since the small dots used with Auraia produce a different dot gain on press compared with conventional screening as, for example, when printing to an industry standard such as ISO 12647-2 or G7 for commercial printing or SNAP for newspaper printing.
