Overview, Organization & Abbreviations

The expose formats are clearly defined in a special section for the following screen dot shapes: Composed, Geometric, Gravure and Fulltone.
The expose formats are for CLASS screen processor, default (maximum) spinner speed and were tested on PS2 and Whisper platforms.

The HDP application supports Composed and Geometric dot only.
The Fulltone was approved for various printing conditions.

The format names are based on a CreoScitex code as follows:

c l s 1 7 5 r 1 0 c

The first two letters (cl) represent the class screen:

cl = class screen

The third letter (s) represents the screen angle set:

s = 7.5 shifted angles
c = conventional angles

The number after the first letters (175) is the screen ruling, or lines per inch(Lpi)
The lower case (r10) represents the LW and expose resolution in points per millimeter (dpm) divided by 10.

The last letter (c) represents the dot type:

c = composed
m = geometric
g = gravure

In case of fulltone there are: f t 80 normal

Two first letters ( ft) are fulltone, the number (80) represents the LW and expose resolution in points per millimeter. The last letters (normal) represent fulltone type: coarse, normal, fine or very fine (vrfine).
