OptiJet CS Clear Film has been designed for producing colour separations, halftone images, line work, slides, by using Ink Jet printers and plotters.
The OptiJet CS Clear Film has been formulated in the Ferrania Technologies, based on a proprietary formulation of the receptor layer applied to a 4 mil PET clear film base with optimum dimensional stability.
Film receptor layer is based on nanoporous technology that is optimised to result in optimum inks absorption and to be able to deliver the required high density black when used with OEM inks as well as to ensure a good control of the dot spread.
OptiJet CS Clear Film is the milestones for ‘Plotter to Film System’ in order to have the total control of the digital workflow in pre-press job.

OptiJet CS Clear Film is ideal to make quality colour separations for screen printing and ‘offset’ applications up to a max of 180 lpi halftones by using AM screening and to produce good quality colour separations by using FM screening (Free Spot technology). This technology allows to increase separations production speed.
OptiJet CS Clear Film can be used for halftone colour images and back light display.

Compatibility with Plotters and Plotter Settings

Image quality may depend on plotter settings, file type, image content and ink characteristics. CS Clear Film used with ‘Plotter to Film System’ works perfectly for screen ruling up to 180 lpi and for offset applications by using FM screening (Free Spot Technology).
A suitable RIP for colour separations is required for screening applications (ex: Ferrania OptiJetRIP, Onyx 6.0, ColorGate Screen&Print, Ergosoft PosterPrint, PosterShop RIP, Wasatch SoftRIP.

Best results obtained with Epson Plotter 4800/7800/9800.
