Digital BW, The Print

Steve,

If you are looking to calibrate from your prints then I would suggest that
you print the step wedge with 5% steps from 100% to 0%. Scan the print of
the wedge to a Photoshop file. Use the picker tool to see what the "%" is of
each level. (You may need to apply a strong Noise>Median filter to each
square to even out the scan.) Then create an adjustment curve to so that the
difference between each step of the wedge is identical.

I would expect ImagePrint to take care of this type of thing for you though
and this should not be necessary.

If you are not getting a good screen to print match then check the Files
section for use of the wedge in getting a better match. See:
