HelioColorDot
For the past several years, this 4-color technique has become our most popular conversion choice. The HelioColorDot doesnt have the solid black line work of its black and white peer, but has crisp, solid color edges and is the ultimate in detail and separation. If you are going to spend the money on a four-color ad in the newspaper, this is well worth the fraction of the ads total cost to have it look wonderful!

HelioDot-SR
By using the HelioDot-SR technique over the standard halftone, you are purchasing a line conversion that is custom-made to suit whatever media you are using. Unlike a regular halftone, the HelioDot-SR line conversion has clean, sharp lines that define all edges, gets the type clean and helps separate the tones to give you the best possible clarity in reproduction.
