>Has anyone had any experience in measuring stochastic dot area on

plates. I have a CC Dot device for reading plates it works well with
conventional screening but will not read Stochastic at all. Giving

of 0% or 100% only>
The CCdot should be able to measure FM plates, but this is an optional
add-on (you purchase the option from Xrite, and they supply a release
code). There was also a limitation in the pixel resolution of the
device's CCD that limited the maximum screen size it could measure. I
believe minimum it could measure was 20 micron. That said, we had the
device here and I remember less accuracy in measurements from
three-quarter to shadow tones. It was similar in shape to a size 12 shoe
(not that that would detract from its accuracy, but it was a little
cumbersome). We eventually replaced the unit with an ICCplate II, with
which we measure FM plates on a daily basis.
