Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work. - Thomas Edison
Thanks for the replies, my problem is that using the thin side, 1:1 I am still getting a heavier coating than requiredWill more pressure reduce it?
Solid Vector art 10-12%Halftones 5-7%A lot depends on the details in your art and the dmax in your image. If dmax is low no amount of EOM adjustment can capture a transparent image. If your image has adequate dmax above 3.0 you can expose the image completely and capture. In the case of transparency EOM would need to be very low and a shorter exposure to capture dot. If dmax is adequate, then 5-7% for a halftone with decent dmax is easier to capture, it simply makes a better shadow that will wash out easier.Emulsion choice also affects tonal capture. Not all emulsions will be able to resolve fine halftones well with target EOM.
