Comparison between square spot technology and traditional printing technology

• Edge Sharpness: Square dots create a stepped pattern through a 10.6-micron x 2.5-micron square window. The energy distribution is uniform and precisely matched to the grating, resulting in over 40% improved dot edge sharpness compared to traditional round dots, completely eliminating the issues of dot blurring and enlargement caused by round dots.
• Environmental Adaptability: An integrated temperature sensor and autofocus module provide real-time correction for environmental interference, keeping dot deformation within ±5 microns. Traditional technologies are significantly affected by temperature and humidity, with registration errors exceeding 15 microns.

• Ink Balance Acceleration: Square dots reduce press paper consumption from the traditional 50-100 sheets to under 20, shortening makeready time by over 30%.
• Scrap Rate Control: The redundant laser design allows production to continue even if a single diode fails, reducing the overall scrap rate by 30% compared to traditional technologies. Traditional circular lasers require frequent downtime and adjustments due to uneven energy distribution.

• High-Precision Applications: Supports accurate dot reproduction from 1% to 99%, enabling the large-scale application of FM screen printing. Traditional technologies can only achieve a limited range of 5% to 95%.
• Potential for Spot Color Replacement: Combined with wide-gamut printing technology, it can replace 80% of Pantone spot colors. Traditional offset printing requires additional spot color channels, increasing costs and process complexity.

• Intelligent Integration: Square laser technology has been integrated with an AI-driven color management system, enabling overprinting of complex patterns in 0.5 seconds. Traditional technologies still rely on manual color calibration.
• Environmental Performance: Eliminating the need for material consumption in the platemaking process reduces material loss from 15% in traditional printing to less than 3%, aligning with the trend toward zero-waste production.

This technology has won the GATF Technology Award five times and has become the preferred solution for high-end packaging and anti-counterfeiting printing, while traditional technologies still retain cost advantages in mid- and low-end mass production.
