We realize that most people could care less about what models of equipment we use but we cant help but to be proud of our toys and our product.

When it comes to quality we found that conventional screening just doesn’t cut it. This is why we use Staccato screening and have been using this technology since 2003. What is staccato screening? In the early 1990's, an innovative method to applying dots to paper began to make waves in the printing industry. Known as stochastic screening, this new technology promised to break through the limitations of halftone screening and deliver finer detail and more vibrant color. For extraordinarily fine image detail you cannot beat staccato screening. Here at Snyder Printer we print Staccato 20 (microns). This is the equivalent to 450 line screen. This cutting edge printing process is a sophisticated method of representing a continuous tone image by converting shading and colors into a random pattern. The process has the affect of "piling" ink on paper (similar to rotogravure) for improved print quality. Conventional screening utilizes round dots and screen angles. Staccato printing utilizes random dot placement and various dot sizes, thus allowing a closer look and feel of the digital or analog photograph. The result is smoother flesh tones, finer details, elimination of moirés, and a 15% wider color gamut. Our knowledge of printing from our skilled team along with new technology such as Staccato screening are just a few things that set us apart from the competition.
