No… There is no ratio between plate and anilox screencounts.

We often hear about a numerical ratio between the screencounts of the flexo plate and that of the anilox roll.In ancient times it was also said that it had to be an odd ratio, like 1:3, to avoid moirée.Then numbers like 1:5, 1:6, 1:7 arrived…There actually is a relationship but it’s not really based on […]

Discover the new Natural Plate Compensation Curves for flexography

Natural Plate Compensation (NPC) curves are a new and simplified method designed to determine and apply plate compensation curves within any flexographic workflow. This method provides smooth transitions and equidistant tone values directly within the compensation curves by making best use of measurements according to ISO 20654:2017 – Graphic technology – Measurement and calculation of

It’s time to change the way we measure dot percentage!

Measurement is the basis of process control. The measurement of dot area coverage or dot percentage is fundamental to define the characteristics of our printing system, to calculate compensations of tonal values for plate making and, finally, to control the production.In 2017, a new method for the calculation of dot area percentage was introduced. ISO
