Image Density vs. Print Size

2004-04-12 by bobphoto

I have come to the conclusion that when making a test print you have to take a section of an image and print it full size rather than re-sizing the whole image to make a small print.  This is the same as you would do in the darkroom assuming you did not want to compensate for enlarger height change.  My full image small test print comes out much darker than the final full size print.  A section of the full size image prints the same as the final ful size print.  I am using MIS-VM in an 1160 with Paul Roark's curves. 

Is this correct?
