I'm using an X-Rite 810 densitometer. I will probably upgrade to PrintFix Pro at some point. I tried using a scanner before, and the results weren't bad on matte papers. On glossy my scanner was very inaccurate in the deep shadows - It couldn't differentiate between the values in the 80-100% range which made it useless for linearization. I like the peace of mind knowing I'm using accurate equipment, so I decided to buy the densitometer. -- Daniel Staver http://daniel.staver.no > May I ask, did you achieve your success using 21 steps with a > scanner, or a densitometer? > > I don't have a densitometer myself, but among my photographer > friends in NYC I bet I can find someone who has one if I need it!

RE: [QuadtoneRIP] Re: Linearization - how many grey steps? 21, 55, 100? or maybe 21x4?
