Abstract
A monochromatic or polychromatic proof of a high resolution master and a process and means for its preparation are described. The graphic arts industry requires monochromatic or polychromatic proofs having high resolution and tonally correct reproduction of halftone masters having frequency modulated screen or line screens with more than 80 lines/cm. These proofs are obtained by using image carriers having image-side surfaces with an average roughness of 1.1 &mgr;m maximum. Such color proofs are necessary to check color separations in the graphic arts industry for whether subsequent printing results are a tonally correct reproduction of the master.
