ABI vs Mono

ABI VS MONO Black printing:

Mono: AccuRIP Emerald has enhanced film production delivering quality and density you’ve come to expect by using a single nozzle and maximizing cartridge-less printers. While software drives the process of film production, the key to film density remains a proper ink type/brand and film type/brand combination. Printing from a single nozzle delivers the high-quality print results you demand to expose great screens.

ABI: not a tech solution more than it’s an economic solution to the old way printers were configured to operate using ink cartridges and microchips. For those that continue using older printers with refillable ABI ink tanks installed that no longer have the ABI feature available in Emerald you’ll use the same Dmax dye from the Photo Black tank to produce dense prints.

All users are welcome to contact sales via email, and support via the online system and ask for an assessment of your setup. The Freehand Team will gladly help you get the best value out of what you have and/or direct you to what is new and a better fit for your business.

Eventually all screen printers will want or need to convert over the NEW style of ECO friendly bulk ink tank printers never looking back. The past was good, but the future is better.

All Black Ink™ Out of Stock

We apologize for this inconvenience as we are currently Out of Stock the All Black Ink™ Feature License product due to product activation issues.

AccuRIP Emerald is coming soon in Q1 2021 with All Black Ink returning as a built-in feature!

Remain Productive:

While Freehand™ is developing AccuRIP Emerald, AccuRIP Ruby and Sep Studio 4 will by default print through the Photo Black slot. You can also check/adjust settings in the software: File Menu > Edit Configuration.

We suggest that you run a Droplet Weight Density Test Print to determine if your droplet weight setting should be adjusted or the printer resolution raised for your best film results. Single slot printing produces top quality results.

Tech is here to assist you through this process if you need our guidance. Submit a Tech Ticket
