Flexographic Resolution Target (Corrugated, Wide Web, Narrow Web)

Targets used for determination of achievable line thicknesses. The prepress department will use the information from these targets to determine the absolute minimum line, both positive and reverse, that can be achieved when printing verses what may appear on the screen. The positive and reverse lines are broken in the centers to observe the effects of gain. Ideally, the lines should appear of similar width when printed correctly. The file contains line weights in points (starting from center): 0.06, 0.13, 0.25, 0.50, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 4.0, and 6.0. The file is in EPS format, suitable to place in popular desktop layout programs.
