Advanced Screening Technology
Harlequin Precision Screening
Harlequin Precision Screening (HPS) - a colour screening technology that minimises the moire patterning effect from colour separations output to ensure high quality reproduction with any screening option in the RIP.
Harlequin Dispersed Screening
Harlequin Dispersed Screening (HDS) - a Frequency Modulation (FM) screening technology that eliminates moire and produces better definition than conventional screening, and it is less registration critical.
Harlequin Error Diffusion Screening
Harlequin Error Diffusion Screening (EDS) - this screens continuous tone images into halftone reproduction to improve image smoothness in highlight and shadow. The EDS plug-in is suited for outputting to high quality inkjet printers with 1-bit and 2-bit error diffusion screening.
Harlequin Chain Screening
Harlequin Chain Screening (HCS) - a screening method that uses long elliptical dot instead of conventional symmetrical dot shapes to create smooth flat tints and vignettes even when working at low-screen rulings.
Harlequin Micro Screening
Harlequin Micro Screening (HMS) - a screening method that allows higher detail with minimised moire to make possible printing at high-screen rulings (above 150 LPI) without loss of highlight detail.
