Re: Can one spot R2400 EPSG prints?

Scott,

Back in June there was a post on this subject from Roger Sopher, who 
said:

'An easy way to spot digital prints (matte ones at least) is to print a
step wedge on glossy paper using the same inkset, curves etc. as the
print to be spotted. Even when the ink drys it can be easily lifted 
with a moistened camel hair brush. The technique is virtually the same 
as with Spotone except glossy paper is used to hold the different 
densities of gray-black rather than a ceramic dish. The step wedge 
makes matching the densities pretty straight forward.'

I have not had reason to use it yet, but it seems to offer an ideal 
solution.

Regards,  John T
