Displays the values set in the
Resolution X
and
Resolution Y
boxes in the
Render
section of the process template.
Screen Ruling
Available when
Maxtone
,
Maxtone CX
, or
Maxtone NX
is
selected in the
Screen System
list.
The list of available screen rulings varies, depending on the
setting in the
Screen System
,
Device Resolutions
, and
Output
To
lists.
If you select an
IS
screen set, you cannot change the
Screen
Ruling
value.
Feature Size
Available when
Staccato
,
Staccato CX
, or
Staccato NX
is
selected in the
Screen System
list.
Select the most appropriate feature size (in microns or pixels)
for the screen system. A smaller number produces finer-grained
output.
The list of available feature sizes varies, depending on the
setting in the
Screen System
,
Device Resolutions
, and
Output
To
lists.
Note: The
Staccato
feature sizes denote a dot size somewhere between
the actual highlight and the midtone dot size.
Note: The Staccato CX or NX (first order) feature size denotes the exact
dot size of the highlight and quarter tone dots. Resolution is factored into
the Staccato CX or NX (first order) dot size calculations.
Note: Staccato feature sizes listed as
<
##
>.1
indicate a first-order
screen, where
<
##
>
is the approximate dot size of the highlight and
quarter tone dots.
Midtone Frequency
Available when
Staccato CX
or
Staccato NX
is selected in the
Screen Type
and
Screen System
lists.
Select a Staccato CX/NX midtone frequency in the list. A larger
number indicates a finer dot structure.
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.
