A Contone cell intensity can be controlled individually

PhotoART Screening:Great color detail

PhotoART Screening:Smooth gradients

PhotoART Contone Technology

Contone printers use a combination of dithering and dot size control to produce a full range of colors that can be perceived by the human eye.

PhotoART 9600 x 600 dpi = Contone

Contone halftone: 4 bits per pixel; 16 levels per pixel

PhotoArt screening produces 4096 colors per dot

– Beautiful colors

– Photographic detail

– Smooth blends

Simitri generates less waste toner by increasing transfer efficiency and reducing power consumption

Special media is not required for best output

Simitri Toner requires 30% less power to produce than pulverized toner

New production process reduces air pollution by 40%

Simitri Polymerized Toner on Hammermill Paper

Delta-E is the mathematical measurement used to describe the distance between two colors. (The difference or shift that may take place in color over a period of time.)

– The average person can notice the difference between two colors that are 5-6 delta-E apart.

– The trained eye is capable of differentiating two colors that are closer to 3-4 delta-E apart

Over a 100-year period of time there will be some color degradation, but in most cases the average person will not notice.
