Does anyone have a suggestion for a plate reader device that will provide the most accurate consistent plate readings when measuring 20 micron staccato screens? We are using 20 micron staccato. Our current Xrite ccdot has worked well for years on our AM screened plates but seems to have trouble with staccato 20 micron. The most inconsistent readings with the ccdot device are from our post baked 20 micron staccato tone scales. The device is picking up "noise" on the plate and giving false readings. The most troublesome tone is the 10%. -- Steve Miller Color Management Specialist "The future's brite" BIC Advertising & Promotional Products 1000 3rd Ave. SW Sleepy Eye, MN 56085 Tel.: (1) 507 794 8203 E-mail: slmiller@norwood.com www.norwood.com / www.bicgraphic.com CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE This electronic message is confidential and may contain legally privileged information intended only for the use of the individual or company named above.
