RE: [Digital BW] 4 color QuadTone setup

2006-09-13 by Gary W. Weaver

Hello Ernst,


If any of you still have a 3000 QTR curve laying around, I wouldn't mind
looking at it. I'd like to see what the Graph/chart looks like.

  Olivier has informed you already but:
  On a 3000 you may be lucky if you get the limit above 50.
  Limiting the other inks is usually only done if there are
  gloss problems, irregular patterns in that ink channel or
  detail loss somewhere in the middle of the greyscale due to
  too much ink. Most of the time it isn't needed.
