  1. HP R1000 fuzzy text

    Does anyone have a trick to get small text (7pt) to print sharper or am I at the limit of what this unit is capable of?
  2. Best screen angle for one color gradients

    Thanks printhog! Where did you get that documentation from?
  3. Best screen angle for one color gradients

    Do you have a favorite screen angle for one color gradients or is it artwork specific? In your opinion what affects the quality of the gradient more, the lpi, mesh count, or angle? 7.5? 22.5? 52.5 or 82.5? What about dot shape? Elliptical? Round? Does it even matter with a one-color gradient...
  4. Gradient issue

    Thanks JB I will look into this on Monday and report back. Management is convinced prepress can image a film with a magic dot shape, screen angle or ruling. We've tried dozens with no luck. So many variables beyond prepress-screen mesh, exposure, washout, stretch, squeegee sharpness, angle, ink...
  5. Gradient issue

    The photo is of a test print off press which is when this problem happens. The films are output at 2540ppi and are beautiful. The screens are exposed and washed out and are smooth as well. This problem is at press. My hope was that someone would see that ragged appearance in the gradient and say...
  6. Gradient issue

    Gradients are typically one color. Custom inks. So frustrating. I know what banding is-this is not that.
  7. Gradient issue

    ESKO. Whether generated natively or imported from Illustrator, these gradients are baby smooth. NO BANDING! These artifacts occur during the printing process. What do you think causes this? Mesh? Squeegee angle? Sharpness? Ink viscosity? Peel?
  8. Gradient issue

    We have a phenomenon happening to our gradients on press. Has anyone seen this before? The films we use to shoot the screens are perfectly smooth but we get a ragged look near the midpoint and again in the lighter tones. We have tried multiple dot shapes, angles, resolutions with no luck...
