[Digital BW] Re: QTR: hitch in the grayscale ramp for EEM_2200-cool?

2003-10-16 by ccolbertbw

I went through the same sort of adjustments for the SC 980.  I found that 
printing a smooth (1%) gradient with a single ink made it much easier to judge    
whether the dot size values were correct. This is because it is not transitions 
between inks that are the issue here, but instead the transition from one dot 
size to the next (within each ink). In other words a gradient with only one ink 
will show the "hitches" just the same.  After changing the dot  values, the 
single ink gradient looked smooth and then the full ink set fell right in line.
