Icefields enables photographers to produce stochastic screened
images on an image by image basis. Icefields is not a typical RIP.
It creates halftone documents for off-line and off-site
reproduction.


Icefields is used by:
- Photographers use Icefields to produce imagesetter film for digital platinum and dye prints.
- Graphic designers place the Icefields TIFF on an page instead of the usual contone photograph, ensuring reproduction quality.
- Prepress operators use Icefields to solve moire and detail reproduction problems in that one troublesome photograph.

Benefits to commercial printers using Icefields includes:
- Reduces the amount of ink needed.
- Provides a larger gamut than traditional halftones.
- Eliminates moiré patterns.
- Displays greater detail.

Benefits to photographers include:
- No pattern worms or voids.
- No disturbing low frequency noise.
- No unwanted sharpening or lost highlights.
- Creates smoother gradients.

Icefields is used for:
- Eliminating reproduction problems such as subject moire and capturing out of gamut colors.
- Minimizing press reproduction problems such as miss-registration.
- Screening images for contact darkroom photography.
- Screening fifth colors and duotones made with Isis Locus.

Here are some key features of "Icefields":
- Open most image formats or a PDF page.
- Incredibly fast image halftone processing.
- Sharpening neutral smooth gradients, and no loss of detail.
- Softproofing of combined separations and individual channels.
- Compensation interface for dot-gain correction.
