Harlequin Multi Level Screening Engine: a new grid technology for production inkjet

Global Graphic screen optimizerThe myriad of production inkjet solutions at drupa not only compete in terms of production speed, paper size, printable media and cost price, but most of all on quality.

That is what printers do and the quality is determined by a number of factors such as ink drop size and how exactly they reach the media. Another important factor is how the raster image processor converts the digital data into the pattern for the inkjet heads. RIP manufacturers such as Adobe and Global Graphics have adjusted their raster technology, once designed for the first Postscript photo type setters, to the possibilities of production inkjet presses.

Global Graphics´ latest development is multi-level screening for its Harlequin RIP. Global Graphics claims that with this technology the ideal ink drop size and pattern can be reached. The Digital Print Quality Optimizer calculates the optimum drop sizes and screen pattern for particular combinations of press, greyscale/multi-level print heads, and substrate.

A number of manufacturers will show at drupa what this technology is capable of.

More information about this interesting technology in the below press release or download the Global Graphic Whitepaper from our downloads page.
