KODAK STACCATO software is advanced, second-order FM screening technology. STACCATO screening produces high-fidelity, continuous tone images that exhibit fine detail and an extended color gamut. They create a photographic experience free of visible printing artifacts such as subject moiré and rosettes.

STACCATO screening eliminates gray-level limitations and abrupt jumps in tone while improving color and halftone stability. STACCATO technology also reduces image degradation due to press mis-registration. Leveraging a 10,000 DPI laser, KODAK SQUARESPOT Thermal Imaging Technology delivers the resolution STACCATO screening requires to reproduce very fine screens in a reliable and practical manner for routine daily print production. STACCATO screening is also available with seven additional extended screen patterns to support KODAK SPOTLESS printing technology.
