screens for simulated proccess

I do a 1/1 on most simulated jobs every now and then 2/1 if I believe the design may call for a little extra of a color or I need a heavy ink deposit.

I use pure photo polymer for everything and have my exposure times down but the dual cure has a wider range on time and if that's what your currently using I recommend staying with your current emulsion if you have your times down and start trying with your current process

Thank you for the speedy response. I'll be doing a test print hopefully within the week. I used a trial version of a separation program that I've never tried but the seps look good on the computer screen. We'll see how the prints turn out.
Thanks Again,

Sim process is something I don't do enough of, but when I'm doing four color process, it's one of the only times I always do at least a 2/1 or 2/2 coat--this may differ for you if you don't have a point light source--in my experience it was easier to get smaller dots to resolve with a very thin stencil on a fluo UV unit, but occlusion moire was the norm in large small percentage gradients. If you have a point unit, you will be able to get smaller dots *consistently* if you have a slightly thicker stencil.

I'd also stick with the highest quality emulsion you can afford, (reasonably high mesh (230TPI / 90T) evenly and consistently stretched, and make sure your coater is nice and smooth, with no nicks, burrs, or dings.

Best of luck--and have fun.
