About seamless imaging
With seamless imaging, the screening pattern is continuous across the
boundaries of the artwork to be imaged "in the round" on a sleeve or
cylinder.
"In the round" means that the plate is wrapped around the cylinder and
imaged on the cylinder, as shown in the following image:
Seamless imaging is used for flexographic printing where the pattern is
continuous and there should be no noticeable transition or break where
the image repeats (for example, wallpaper or fabric printing).
To make an image seamless, select the
Enable
option in the
Seamless
Screening
area on the
Calibration and Screening
section of the output
process templates.
