Midtone frequency is an accurate measure of the number of dot
structures per inch in the midtones of Staccato CX/NX screens.
Frequency is expressed in lines per inch (lpi) and is a useful
metric with AM and FM screens when assessing qualitative,
lithographic, and imaging behavior. Staccato CX/NX midtone
frequency is comparable to Maxtone and Maxtone CX/NX
screen ruling.
Values in this box are governed by resolution and licensing. For
a complete list of the available Staccato CX midtone
frequencies and dot widths, including configurations that match
Staccato screen type feature sizes, see the section about
document screening, in this guide.
Screen Color
In the
Screen Color
and
at Angle
boxes, perform the following
tasks:
●
Set screening for colors other than the four process colors
●
Swap the process color screens within screen systems
●
Assign a screen to the "Default" color. This screen will be
used for any color that doesn't have its own screening value
in the output process template or color database.
The screen angles associated with each process color in the
at
Angle
box vary, depending on the setting in the
Screen System
and
Dot Shape
lists.
To assign a screen to a color in the
Screen Color
box, type the
name of a spot color, or type
Default
to select the default
screen angle. Use the correct capitalization and spacing in color
names.
Note: To swap two screens (for example, magenta for black), modify the
entries for both colors. In this example, modify the setting in the
at Angle
box for magenta to use the black screen, and modify the setting in the
at
Angle
box for black to use the magenta screen.
Default Spot Color Handling

that do not have screen angles assigned in the
Screen Color
and
at Angle
boxes or in the Color Editor.
To choose C, M, Y, or K as the default color screen angle, select
Screen as
. To cycle through the available color screen angles,
select
