Fingerprinting

With the fingerprinting technique we carefully determine all printing specifications, from dot gain values to minimum dot size and density. This process goes as follows:

  • You create a linear printing form.
  • After printing, this printing form is measured out by our specialists. Different parameters are determined.
  • These parameters established in close partnership with our client.
  • All parameters are integrated into our workflows, so that every plate is fabricated according to the same parameters and offers the best results possible on your machines.
