To Use Screening

You can select a color intensity setting that determines the amount of ink placed on the paper while plotting. The valid range is 0 through 100. Selecting 0 reduces the color to white. Selecting 100 displays the color at its full intensity. Screening is effective only if your plotter is configured to plot colors or grayscale. Also, dithering must be enabled.

1. Click File menu > Plot Styles.
2. Double-click the plot style table that you want to modify.
3. In the Plot Style Table Editor, select the plot style you want to change.
4. In the Screening box, enter an intensity value between 1 and 100.
5. When finished, click Save & Close.

   You can edit properties for multiple plot styles while in the Plot Style Table Editor.

   Note: A common practice when using screening is to set the plotted color to black for each style so that the screening will be a percentage of black.
