I finally got a densitometer and am in the process of creating my first paper curve for Epson Heavyweight Matte paper(Neutral curve) and MIS UT2 inks and an Epson 1280 printer. I have charecterized the inks and found the black maxed out at 60% ink when printed at 100% ink in the first pass. I am now at the stage of just after printing the second calibration chart at that 60% and have read the ink densities of each ink position. The results are: K=1.56 C=1.13 M=1.09 Y=not used LC=.96 LM=.97 From the help file "This process is repeated for each lighter ink, comparing it to the next darker ink, calculating its density relative to that ink and then converting it to a density relative to the darkest ink. Record these values in the appropriate ink density box." This is where my logic fails me. In the curve creator how do I determine what density percentages to enter? I know there are many who have created these curves, so could someone fill in the missing information for me after telling me the method of determining the density percentages? I would really appreciate all help from soneone who has surmounted this step. Your friend in Photography, Johnny
