Digital BW, The Print

Hi Susan:

To Linearize: To match the output of a device to the imput values.

  ie in Offset printing, if you can duplicate the screen (percentage)  
values in a file on a press, you can say the press output is linearized.

Inkjets are a whole other animal, but I think this gives you the idea.
