Plate dots shape

[Nishanth]

We use the Harlequin to rip. We use 2400 resolution to expose the plates.
Still, our dot shape on the plate is very irregular.

Please go through the attachments for the snapshot of the dots on our plates.
One is our plate and the other one is the Fogra wedge which look perfect.

Kindly suggest me to achieve the Fogra dot shape on our plates.

Thanks in advance.

The smaller the dot the greater any difference in dot shape you'll see. The larger the dots the less difference you'll see. You should compare halftone dots that represent the same tone value instead of these different dot areas.

Also you should compare screens of the same frequency and angle which these also don't appear to be.

BTW, why are the dots and plate colors so different?

You seem to be comparing "apples and oranges"

best, gordon p

Nishanth,
Always compare the image on plate against the preview /roam in the rip. You haven't mentioned what plates and platesetter type you use, based on the scarce information you posted it's difficult for anyone to help. I may be able to assist you in troubleshooting your platesetter and processing conditions, PM me if you want with your e-mail address.
