Re: [QuadtoneRIP] adjusting toner content

2009-05-14 by Roy Harrington

The Density values are for partitioning multiple levels of toner i.e. M and LM.
The dark one or a single toner would be 100.

I would start with the highlight/shadow values the same as the ones in the
gray channel.  This gives close to a constant ratio of toner-to-gray ink.
After that you can fine tune with small variations in highlight/shadow --
larger values give less toner and smaller ones give more toner.  You can
do split tone this way but I tend to leave splits to the print
sliders.  As Howard
mentions you can get fine control with custom .acv /.raw curves.
