Nothing beats Caprock screens
when it comes to conventional camera halftones in darkroom and daylight cameras &
enlargers, and now, white dot screens for copiers!
When you shoot color pictures for black and white
printing...
Why settle for dark halftones, like the one on the left, when Caprock's C-O screens give
you light halftones, like the one on the right, without sacrificing highlight detail!
Caprock C-O and standard screens come in all sizes,
rulings and dot shapes, with special characteristics for the film or paper you use.
Replacements are available for all screens discontinued by Eastman Kodak.
To order a C-O or regular screen, specify the following information:
- Size of the film you will use with the screen (in inches). The screen we
supply will be an inch larger on each side, so that the vacuum can hold the screen in
position (an 11 x 14 screen will measure 12 x 15 inches, and can be used with film up to
11 x 14 inches). Standard sizes include 8 x 10, 11 x 14, 14 x 17, 16 x 20, 20 x 24,
24 x 24, 24 x 30, 30 x 30, 30 x 40 and 40 x 40 inches.
- Ruling in lines (dots) per inch should be determined by the kind of paper that
will be used for printing. Newsprint can hold 85 lines per inch, offset printing on
bond paper around 100 lines per inch, and coated papers 133 or higher. We supply
rulings from 32 to 300 lines per inch.
- Color (Gray or magenta). Gray screens are almost always better, because they
shoot faster, can be cleaned to last longer, and work better with color originals.
- Dot Shape (Elliptical or square). Use elliptical dot for sheet-fed printing,
square dot for web offset.
- Characteristic: Negative for making film negatives, positive for paper prints.
- Film/Paper & Chemistry: Hybrid, rapid access, litho (A & B), diffusion
transfer, etc. You'll get optimal results if your screen is correctly matched to the
film or paper used for your halftones.
- C-O for color originals to be printed in black and white, B&W for
black and white originals.
Ask about special effect patterns, such as mezzotints and straight lines, first
generation percentage tints and gravure screens. Did you know we also supply
replacements bulbs for your camera and plate burner and vacuum frame? Click on the lamp

| White Dot Screens for Photos, Aerial Photographs and
Engineering Drawings |
When you reproduce a photograph on your copier, the dark areas print
black, the light areas print white, and there's little in between. The reason is simple:
Copiers are designed to reproduce only black tones (such as printed text), not the variety
of shades and colors that make up photographs.
White Dot Screens overcome this problem to give you pleasing
reproduction of the original. They are very economical for adding pictures to newsletters,
church bulletins, real estate flyers and other simple pieces.
White Dot Screens offer an inexpensive alternative to
photographic reproduction of large size aerial photographs, since you can make copies on a
large format photocopier.
White Dot Screens are used for making ghost images of
engineering drawings, contour lines, and aerial photos, to allow indication of changes and
for overlay drafting by toning down solid the lines of the original.
White Dot Screens are supplied in 85 lines per inch only, as a
set of two 9 x 11 inch sheets, or singly in sizes 11 x 14, 12 x 18, 18 x 24 or 24 x 36
inches.
The only first generation tints made directly from glass masters, not contacted from
film copies. To order, specify the following:
- Size of the screen, starting at 20 x 24 inches and as large as 30 x 40
inches.
- Ruling in lines per inch, from 50 to 200.
- Percentage value that you want in the tint (not what you want to
print). Values start at 5% and are available in 5% steps all the way up to 95%.
