What is FM Screening?

FM screening, also known as Stochastic screening, is a technique that brings more detailed output on the printing plates.

 

Traditional amplitude modulation (AM) halftone screening is based on a geometric and fixed spacing of dots, which vary in size depending on the tone color represented distribution density (for example, from 10 to 200 microns). FM screening instead uses a fixed size of dots (10 and 20 microns) and a distribution density that varies depending on the color’s tone.

​

FM screening allows a closer look and feel of the digital or analog photograph. The technology has the effect of “piling” ink on paper for improved print quality. The result is smoother flesh tones, finer details, elimination of moiré, and a 15% wider color gamut.

FM screening printing technology is the ultimate performance of high-quality prints. Art book, high-value catalog, etc. are suitable for printing with the technology. Let’s work together in this beautiful world, feel free to contact us anytime!
