Analysis & Advice
Dot Gain
15%
Compensation advice: Dot gain is moderate - use a standard compensation curve and validate by testing
The quality factor is well judged and should give good print quality with smooth dot edges
The screen ruling exceeds what this stock can hold (133-200 LPI) and may plug or fill in
Run a proof to validate the screen ruling and fine-tune from the result
