Selecting a high screen Resolution, such as 175 LPI, significantly enhances print quality on coated paper by allowing for finer detail and smoother gradients. However, this high Resolution is technically demanding and is successful only when strict conditions are met: it requires rigorous print supervisor oversight and the absolute highest quality of ink to manage dot stability. Without this technical control, the increased risk of Dot Gain and Moiré can severely degrade the final result.

The underlying Screening method (AM or FM) plays a vital role in supporting this high LPI choice. While AM at 175 LPI is common for offset on coated stocks, FM screening is generally superior for preventing Moiré in non-paper substrates. Consulting the pre-press team early ensures that the chosen Resolution is feasible for the plate-making and press capabilities, guaranteeing the best possible outcome for the packaging design.
