:Sublima is an innovative screening solution from Agfa that combines two screening techniques in a way that is designed to match the smallest reproducible dot a press can easily hold... even at 340 lpi!!! Think about :Sublima like XM radio, taking the best qualities of AM and FM radio and blending them together.

The trusted AM screening is for mid-tones. It provides clear, accurate reproduction, especially noticable in flat tints where you can produce smooth results without the usual graniness you find with most stochastic and conventional screeening processes. AM screening is responsive on press, allowing the press operator to maintain grey balance during color moves.

Highlights and shadows are enhanced by FM screening. The FM algorithm ensures the printability of the lightest tones and every shadow detail.

:Sublima adds up to seamless, high quality reproductions from shadows (FM) to midtones (AM) to highlights (FM).

Ries Graphics has the software and necessary pre-press hardware to offer :Sublima to our customers as a value-added service. Of course, our current-style presses and well-trained staff make it all come together.

We offer both conventional and :Sublima screening at Ries Graphics. Our experts can help you decide which would work best for your project.








ABOVE: Once :Sublima reaches the smallest and easiest dot for the press, it makes the dots no smaller. Instead, it uses a patented method to remove dots (right column). Even though the dots at the highlights may appear to be random, you will notice the dots align along the existing ABS angles.
