Digital BW, The Print

What, then,  *do* the values represent when I use the densitometer with 
the C, M & Y filters (?) rotated into position? Have the manufacturers 
been duping users into thinking that the measurements mean something? Is 
the K density value also without relationship to the K in CMYK?

Bruce Lindbloom's "Companding Calculator" alleges a relationship between 
the values, although not in the range of the Macbeth's output, what does 
that mean?

Yours truly puzzled,

Frank

There is no relationship between density values and CMYK color values.
Densitometers don't read color, then just read log density. CMYK values 
are not
density related, and are color based. You are trying to cut down a tree 
with a
sparkplug wrench.
