With digital printing your font choices
and sizes are as limitless as they are
in conventional printing. And unlike
most digital printers, the NexPress
press can print 4 point black type
clearly and legibly.
Dot gain
You’ve probably found yourself deal-
ing with optical and mechanical dot
gain. With the electrophoto-graphic
technology of the NexPress press,
the dot gain is constant and a routine
calibration controls the dot gain for all
conditions. So, you should not have to
make any adjustments to your files.
Ask your printer to be sure.
Dry ink coverage
While it would be technically possible
to print 100% of each process color
for a total coverage of 400%, it’s not
necessary or recommended. In an
earlier section of this booklet, you saw
how to create rich blacks and the total
coverage of the recommended formu-
las ranged from 180% to 240%. For
the NexPress press, the maximum
dry ink coverage is 280%. With more
excessive coverage, a buildup of lay-
ers may become noticeable. If 280%
coverage is exceeded in the file, it will
be reduced to 280% by the Kodak
NexPress press.
The NexPress 2100 press eliminates the problem of dot gain.
