Hi Ray,

Similar to Agfa Sublima, I guess. More and more printers are using this kind
of screening method these days.

Soy based inks. Environmental friendly inks. Nice. Only 25% of US printers
are using soy based inks in 2004. What a shame.

Right. As I noted in my post, the PDF does not say which status these values
were obtained under. But I'd be surprised if they were StatusT (more like
measured through a polarized filter, which is common practice in Europe, I'm
not sure about Asia). That's why I don't see how can the author directly
compared them to SWOP's? (SWOP does not publish standard densities, btw).

Is that a Creo screening system?

You have a physical book in your hand to look with a loupe?

I'll take your workd for it.
