Preview background

Preview only — the exported PNG always keeps its transparency.

Shared screen

Screen frequency40 LPI

Grid pitch of the AM screen at 300 DPI. Go low (4–10 LPI) for very large holes: 5 LPI = 60 px pitch, about 5 mm.

Micro-texture density25%

Breathability floor — even 100% ink fields keep at least this much air. Push toward 90% for big, open holes.

Micro-dot minimum size3 px

Thinnest printable ink feature (floor 3 px ≈ 0.25 mm). Thinner ink is clipped to this size or faded to 0%.

Tone source

Tone responseγ 1.00

Higher values compress midtones, protecting gradients such as skin tones and soft shading.

Artwork resolutiondefault

Pixel floors scale with DPI so holes and ink webs keep their real size. Read from PNG/JPG when the file has it; stamped into the export.
