Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work. - Thomas Edison
Are you trying to tell me that eliminating film and glass actually gives you better detail? Whoda thunk? ( wonder if there are other benefits not realized by most ?)
Home we actually use half of the tape we used to use, another great thing about CTS, no pin holes from the process, so there is actually a nice little savings on tape there too
The faster you can fully crosslink the area of emulsion not blocked out the better your results will be. The benefits of DTS when it comes to this exposure speed is awesome hopefully all of you shops with DTS can hold a much finer dot than before. Those fine lines and halftones will process much easier because of the faster exposures therefore you can perceivably hold a smaller dot than you could previously. Although the size of the dot you can hold on a certain mesh count is a mathematical relationship and is considered constant, there are other variable in the mix here that change the outcome.

Well spoken Alan however I want to plant a seed for potential DTS users to consider.Don't get caught up in comparing the advertised resolution numbers of one machine to another. It really does not matter if the resolution is advertised as 600, 1440, 2540, green or disco. The simple fact is you can't compare like resolution numbers between film systems and DTS applications.What you have to look at is information captured and retained on the finished print. You can measure this with a densitometer and verify a 2% dot is indeed a 2% dot or you can simply look at the printed finished product from DTS imaged screens and say WOW! Remember customers pay for WOW!~Kitson
