A contrilbution to the AM and the FM screening in the graphic reproduction process

Developing and reproduction through the CTP systems bring out a number of novelties, even in the field of different screening methods. Today, the conventional screens (AM) are mostly used in the printing process In certain types of reproduction the usage of frequently modulated screening method (FM) is becoming wider In this paper the original was reproduced by using the AM and the FM screening method in the same CTP workflow after which it was printed in offset. The differences in the quality of prints have been defined. For printing of characteristic motives different models and conditions of usage of certain types screening elements have been suggested This hind of investigation will simplify the process of deciding which screening element will find use in the graphic reproduction. The proposed new screening method will correct the disadvantages of the investigated screens.
