Highlight gain is the dominant effect with Flexcel NX plates. Ha= lftone dots as small as one or two pixels at 2400 dpi (0.4 or 0.8 percent a= t 150 lpi) can be imaged and printed reliably, but these small halftone dot= s are subject to compression dot gain, causing a small flexo discontinuity.=
A typical flexographic press device condition using Flexcel NX plates at= 175 lpi has the following behavior, demonstrating the effect and magnitude= of the discontinuity:
The color change from substrate to 1% is much larger than from 1% to 2%,= while the typical offset color response has similar color changes from 0% = to 1%, and 1% to 2%.
For Kodak Flexc= el NX plates, it's recommended that you characterize the press with a b= uilt-in or custom NX transfer curve according to the cyan midtone (50% inpu= t tint) TVI.= Use the default Mindot values, and don't increase the Minimum Tint= Out value.
