Re: IJC/OPM How do you lighten a profile

2005-02-04 by Nick H. Nugent

Peter,

The digest came to me a little late and there have been several 
responses to your question. But just in case you haven't got this 
one figured out yet - which I think you did - the answer is no, 
there is no need to relinearize.

However, maybe Joe or Lou or Antonis may want to jump in here, I 
think we can fine tune the profile by printing the target with 
linearization and read each patch and make correction, if any, to 
the linearization table. But I have never had to do this re-
linearization step because I don't think it is necessary. As long as 
the test image comes out smooth with no bumps or flat spots.
