Re: So I bought a Loup, Now What?

2005-05-09 by Andrew Unger

When you make your first Ink Separation Test Print you have to 
determine where on the 21 step strip there the ink completely fills 
the patch, the "max out" point.    You place the dried print on your 
lightbox and examine with the loup.  Evaluate each ink.  If you 
haven't got a copy, of the Quadtone RIP User Guide, get it from Roy's 
website.  This particular issue is dealt with on pages 12-13.  Good 
luck.
