Re: [Digital BW] FS density mk2

2001-12-03 by Julian Thomas

Now here is a funny thing. Mike and Paul both told me that FS printed
lighter than Piezo. Reworking some protfolio prints I found the opposite to
be true, with FS needing a 'lift' adjustment. But going back to some REALLY
old prints, all I need to do to replicate the piezo prints is to pull down
the gamma a touch in curves and lift the toe of the blacks. It looks like I
did have some variation (big) in density with piezo. Printing for the last
exhibition I had to do some curves adjustments to get the prints to match
the older portfolio prints but I put it down to an aging effect. Not so I
think. This Piezo is tricky stuff!
