Basically you set your screen close to registration, then you can turn 1 of 3 knobs to adjust vertically or horizontally in a very small increments. It makes aligning difficult separations much easier, such as simulated process halftones.

If you can get it, get it, but it usually adds a couple thousand bucks to your press cost.

Actually depends on the press. SOme have more. Yet same principal. Also if you plan on printing serious art and 4-clr process you need micro's.

Okay, I'll rephrase, Fluid: "... then you can turn a selection of knobs to adjust an axis of movement in very small increments. It makes aligning difficult separations much easier, such as simulated process halftones, for example 4-color."
