Hi all,

Regarding Roger's comments...

Why would switching from AM to FM result in an ink savings?

You're putting down the same dot area, and that would result in approximately the same amount of ink being put on the paper.

The only thing that changes is the formation of the tonal information: a clump of machine spots vs. a pseudo-random distribution of the same machine spots.

If you were to calculate the area of paper covered by ink per cell in an AM halftone and compare that the area covered by ink per cell with an FM screen, they should be the same, or very close, otherwise the image would be different.

I am eager to hear the explanation.

Best wishes,

Brian P. Lawler
