In the field of CD decorating, waterless offset printing has been adopted gradually by manufactures to produce CDs with higher resolution and better image quality and also to supplement insufficient screen printing. Waterless offset printing has the higher printing quality, relatively, screen ruling used (image output resolution) has been raised. To increase the quality, CDs are printed by high screen ruling dot. However, what is the degree of dot change during the process of image duplication? To find out the answer, this study puts screen ruling, 175 lpi and 300 lpi, in use for waterless offset printing. After that, dot reproduction on plate and CD printing would be investigated. Through Experimental Design, film from screen ruling, 175 lpi and 300 lpi, process plate making and printing separately. After that, further measurement and analysis of plate and printing would be done. This study attempts to reveal that screen ruling (175 lpi and 300 lpi) and the character of dot duplication, the degree of dot gain, and their difference of dot gain percentage shown during the process of duplication by means of empirical evidence. Finally, we anticipate the result of this study would help CD decorating manufactures improve and increase the quality of their products.
