- HYBRID Screen.
- KODAK DIGICAP Selection
For each percentage of shade, especially those from 1% to 5%, will all the dots on the plates be engraved?
No. According to the study of our technicians, for the engraving of the minimum dot we propose the solution,
in order to achieve the desired effect, using the hybrid screen according to the type of plate chosen.
Read more about minimum dot.
Why should I choose HYBRID DOT?
The minimum dot acts in shades less than 5% (Percentage of the color "spot color", Pantone for example).
The size of the dot does not decrease from 5% to 1% but the dots are arranged roughly making the minimum
dots more stable and the same printing effect.

How do I set up Digicap?
The Kodak Digicap NX patterns algorithm must be set in the "Configure Plate".
After setting the resolution in "Kodak NX dpi" and uploading the PDF file, you can select
under each preview the Digicap: None/No pattern, Standard, Advanced01, Advanced02, Advanced03, Advanced04, Advanced05).
You can also use different patterns in different color plates but from the same project.
