Great print quality depends on many things, including your processes, your employees, your printing press, and your paper and ink. But before a job even gets to the pressroom, print quality starts with imaging stability in prepress.  

“Imaging stability” is defined as reliable and robust imaging of the plate in the CTP device, using technology that:

• Tolerates and/or automatically corrects for the normal day-to-day variability in a printing environment,
• Ensures consistent and robust dot reproduction on the plate that will hold up on press, through the full print run, and
• Is flexible enough so that it adjusts easily to the production variations and demands of your business.

Within this arena firmly sits KODAK SQUARESPOT Imaging Technology, which employs a 10,000-dpi laser swath - four times finer than a pixel. This unique “sub-pixel” resolution ensures the edge of the dot on the plate is accurately and consistently imaged, resulting in a clear and consistent boundary between imaged and non-imaged areas and excellent latitude to handle the normal (or even abnormal) variations in plates, plate coatings, processing, laser power, and even your prepress room environment with no noticeable variation on the printed sheet.
