Re: [Digital BW] Using a flat-bed scanner to measure the ink densities and linearize a curve in QTR

Paul,

How does your procedure compare to the QTR StepWedge tool?

Thanks,

Paul

With extensive help from a frequenter of this and other related Yahoo! groups, I've shortened our lengthy e-mail exchange to come up with an affordable method of measuring ink densities for the last step of linearizing a curve in QTR. Here's the Dropbox link to the document:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/tw68s4q0dha3ild/QTR%20curve%20making.pdf?dl=0

I decided to use Dropbox instead of our Files section here because it seemed I had more control to work the link into a new or existing thread. A member of our cousin site QuadToneRIP is working on a manual for QTR and earlier I posted this link there. You may want to check out that thread, it's named New User Guide.

This is my first attempt to use Dropbox so please tell me if this doesn't work for you. You don't need Dropbox installed on your computer if I've done this correctly.

Enjoy the journey, as Paul R. would say!

Paul W.
