PhotoART Contone Technology
 Contone printers use a combination of
dithering and dot size control to produce a full
range of colors that can be perceived by the
human eye.
 PhotoART 9600 x 600 dpi = Contone
 Contone halftone: 4 bits per pixel;
16 levels per pixel
 PhotoArt screening produces
4096 colors per dot
Traditional
Halftone cells
need 16 pixels to
‘mix’ one color
A Contone cell
intensity can be
controlled
individually
PhotoART
Screening:
Great color detail
PhotoART
Screening:
Smooth gradients
– Beautiful colors

 Small particles—uniform in size & shape—
produce finer lines and better halftones
 Simitri generates less waste toner by
increasing transfer efficiency and reducing
power consumption
Polymerized
Conventional
 Special media is not required for best output
 Simitri Toner requires 30% less power to
produce than pulverized toner
 New production process reduces air
pollution by 40%
 Simitri has a 100+ year life expectancy

Color degradation by light / UV exposure
Simitri Polymerized Toner on Hammermill Paper
 Delta-E is the mathematical measurement used to describe the distance between two
colors. (The difference or shift that may take place in color over a period of time.)
– The average person can notice the difference between two colors
that are 5-6 delta-E apart.
– The trained eye is capable of differentiating two colors that are closer
to 3-4 delta-E apart
 Over a 100-year period of time there will be some color degradation, but in most
6
cases the average person will not notice.
