Computer to Screen Module CTSM

The Computer to Screen Module produces high-quality 1-bit TIFF-data in all required resolutions, also considering CtS-application-specific requirements.

Applying computer-to-screen process, the printing layout is transferred directly from the digital printing data onto the screen by using an inkjet printer or laser exposure. This procedure makes the screen printing process much faster, more productive and more profitable.

Separations preview

Function to display single color separations

Full color preview

Preview of composite colors, e.g. colors that are located on opposite side in the color circle: Blue/orange, red/green, yellow/violet. Function for merging all separations.

Process color separations

Display of separations in process colors.

Halftone separations

Display of separations in levels of gray.

Arrangement on printing Arrangement of separationsarea

Function to arrange the different separations according to the printing area, inclusive a preview of the separation arrangement on the print medium.

Fixed stencil/ screen size

Using a fixed screen size, the output area is defined precisely, inclusive cutting marks and indication of protected margins.

Copy and layout print on fixed stencil/ screen size

Function for copies and layout prints while using a fixed screen size where the output area is defined precisely, inclusive cutting marks and indication of protected margins.

ICC color management for separation creation

Creation of single separations according to CMYK ICC profiles that can be selected manually or that are already embedded in the file. Selectable rendering intents (different conversion method for color management systems) for the conversion of RGB color spaces to CMYK color spaces.

Dot gain correction/ color value correction

Function for dot gain correction/ color value correction of up to +/- 40% for single or all separations, and for calculation of tonal value curves from an existing ICC profile.

Auto separation

Function for the automatic creation of CMYK separations.

Conversion of spot colors to CMYK

Function for conversion of embedded spot colors into the CMYK separations.

Printing black separations

Function that deactivates all separations in composite files apart from the black (K) separation, so only the black separation can be printed.

Separations as jobs

Function that creates single print jobs of each separation of a print file.

Linearization adjustment

Function for linearization adjustment enables:

• Adjustment of ink level
• Linearization of screen separations via densitometric (% dot) measurements
• Linearization per channel inclusive adaption of the dot gain/color gamut range
• Optimization of the linearization by multiple outputting and measuring of the calibration target; each with recalculation of the linearization curve.

Super Rosette 2

Acurate AM supercell screening with predefined silk screening angles.

Hybrid Screen 2

Hybrid screen "Hybrid Screen 2" uses the AM super cell screening with predefined silk screening angles for three color separations as well as one FM screening for the fourth color separation.

Frequency Screen

State-of-the-art stochastic screen for silk screening.

PostScript Screen

Freely definable AM screening settings: Angles, frequencies and dot shapes.
