Re:Posterization when printing:Why?-To Paul

2004-12-23 by Andre Vallejo da Silva

Just printed the 21 step file and it seems that from 65 to 80,it all 
looks pretty much the same.So I guess this is the problem. Can you 
give me some hints on how to modify the curve? I've been looking at 
it,and noticed that it has 15 points,where I expected 10 or 20,so I 
got a bit lost...
Best,
Andre
