RE: [Digital BW] Quad Ink Densities

2001-11-05 by Alessandro Pardi

Paul,
 
I must have missed something: where do I get the "color test" curve and
where exactly do I have to look on the scan from the 21-step scan for the 4
inks densities?
 
Thanks, 
Alessandro Pardi

All systems are a little different.
So, get the curve, 21-step test file, and print some Piezo (from a cart --
not an old CIS that may have affected densities) and see what densities you
come up with.  Then try the other ink and compare.  Expect + or - 1-2% just
from printer variances.  Even high end 7000s and drum scanners don't seem to
be more consistent.  Perfection is impossible here.
