Hamillroad Software claims to have achieved the ‘Holy Grail’ of stochastic screening with its second generation ‘digitally modulated’ DM-II screening. In addition to the high level of image detail associated with FM stochastic screening, it is also said to produce flat tints smoother than conventional screening.
According to Hamilroad, the patent-pending Auraia-II screening technology enables high-end violet and thermal platesetters to produce images that emulate the quality of a traditional 400-500 lpi screen - and produce rosette-free, moiré-free and noise-free flat tints that equal or better the smoothness of conventional screening.
Andy Cave, Hamillroad Software’s CEO, states: “Despite the marketing that various large companies have used to promote their stochastic screens on thermal devices, we know first-hand from talking to a large number of end-users that many of them have problems with noise in flat tints. The quality of print we can achieve on a good violet or thermal CTP device now significantly exceeds the industry standard of 175/200 lpi and enables a printer to produce a quality of result that far exceeds their competitors.”
