CHICAGO, Nov. 15 -- Oce, a global leader in digital document management and delivery solutions, today announced that Oce Universal Clear Inkjet Film can be used to create film positives for screenprinting applications. This film offers exceptional optical clarity and can attain very high black ink image density, which is ideal for creating digital film masters used to "burn" screens for screenprinting applications. Oce Universal Clear Inkjet Film offers a cost-effective solution for creating in-house, short-term film positives. Additional overall savings can be realized when using this film with lower cost dye inks. Because of its hybrid coating design, this film's ability to produce high-density blacks with dye inks makes it an economical short-term alternative to more expensive combinations such as pigmented inks on microporous coated films or traditional photographic methods. Oce Universal Clear Inkjet Film, when printed at 1440 dpi with Epson dye inks and Oce complimentary ICC profiles, offers a Dynamic Range (DR) of greater than 4.0 (Dmin 0, Dmax >4.0); when printed at 720 dpi it offers a DR of 2.7 (Dmin 0, Dmax >2.7), tested using an 18A UV density filter(1). This film has an exceptionally clean, clear background resulting in minimum exposure time required to burn the screen. "The combination of Oce's clear film technology, free ICC profiles and the lower cost of dye based inks offers a very economical solution for creating short-term digital screen print positives," said Dan Halkyard, Director, Wide Format Marketing, Oce Imaging Supplies. "We set out to find new and innovative ways for customers to use our products to help them become more successful.
