Smooth Gradients
Wasatch Precision Stochastic Screens (PSS) raises fine art and photographic printing to a whole new level. Compared to other software RIP solutions, it provides clearly superior tonal quantization by eliminating “stairstepping” or “rainbowing” in the printing of subtle gradations. It also improves the reproduction of all grays.
PSS achieves such impressive results using a new, original, and sophisticated approach to variable–dot halftoning. The resulting color and accuracy gains are significant for most printing scenarios. PSS's superiority is particularly dramatic with dye sublimation and other processes that involve extreme dot gain.

Faster RIP Speed
This new halftone method not only improves image quality, but also improves throughput speed. Using PSS versus other RIP halftone methods increases RIP speed by 30% for variable– dot printers and more than 100% for fixed–dot printers.
A Wasatch Exclusive
Other RIPs offer rudimentary stochastic screening, and claim that they RIP as fast as SoftRIP. They don't tell you that their stochastic solution produces grainy, poor quality output. Only Wasatch PSS gives you both superior quality color and gradients, and faster speed. Compare PSS output with other RIPs using their Stochastic screens. You will see the difference and be impressed with our quality. We guarantee it.
Profiling with PSS
Due to all these advantages PSS has replaced Digital Mezzotint as the halftone method for all new imaging configurations created at the Wasatch facility since May 2004. It is a major advance over previous methods and further extends Wasatch's edge in both speed and image quality.
