Emulsion:


Emulsion refers to the side of the film that the photosensitive "emulsion" exists on. Your printer will have a preference as to which side of the film the emulsion is on. Please consult with your printer before ordering films, because this may affect the quality of the printed piece. The printer will tell you they either want right-reading emulsion down films, or right-reading emulsion up films, referring to the side of the film the emulsion is on when the type can be read legibly (not flopped).

Line Screen (LPI):


Lines-per-inch refers to the frequency and size of the dot in halftone prints. Please check with your printer if your document contains images or gray/tint values to determine line screens. The table below offers common line screens and usages. This is meant to be a guideline only. ART is not responsible for incorrectly specified line screens. Please note: LPI is not DPI (Dots per inch).
Line ScreenCommon Uses
65-85 lpiNewspapers, photocopying
85-100 lpiNewspapers, photocopying, uncoated stock
100-120 lpiUncoated stock, some coated stock, magazines
133-150 lpiMagazines and offset printing
175 lpi and upHigh-end color offset printing

Resolution (DPI):


Resolution is measured in dots-per-inch, and refers to the amount of dots used to create an image or graphic. Our standard resolution is 1200 dots per inch, which uses 1,200 dots to create an image in any given inch of imagesetting. This is more than adequate in most cases. However, if you are using a line screen of 150 lpi or more, you will need to use 2400 dpi resolution.
