Mesh and line screen formula

AccuRIP® by Freehand® has a built-in mesh count calculator. 

Using a legacy version of AccuRIP or a different RIP? There are mathematical formulas for selecting a line screen when you know the screen mesh count, or which screen mesh count to select when knowing the line screen. 

Line Screen X 5 = Mesh Count (i.e. 46 line screen x 5 = 230). Select the closest (or higher) mesh count. In this case a 230 mesh.

Mesh Count divided by 5 (i.e. 230 mesh divided by 5 = 46). Select a 46 line screen or round down to a line screen. Never round up. 

Consult with your mesh supplier for which factor (3, 4, or 5) they suggest when using their product.
