English

Subject field(s)
  • Printing Processes - Various
CONT

Optical collisions eg abrupt tone jumps caused by dots joining at the point of contact (a typical feature of AM screening), are reduced to a minimum. As a result colour gradation is also reproduced much more uniformly.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Procédés d'impression divers
CONT

Les collisions optiques, tels les chocs de couleur dus au bouchage des points de trame, caractéristique du tramage par modulation d'amplitude, sont réduits à un minimum. L'impression des dégradés devient donc beaucoup plus régulière.
