Strange values creating curves - NEED HELP !

2014-05-28 by paul.ozzello@...

So I've been following the User Guide written by Tom Moore and I've started characterizing the inks and I'm getting some strange values for my Black ink.


I'm printing on Epson Hot Press Bright using an Epson 9890 with UC K3 inks (1440 dpi | unidirectional | matte ink) and measuring density using a Colormunki Photo


All my inks EXCEPT for Ink 1 - Black show max density (lowest L value) between 95-100 %,


BUT


For (Ink 1 - Black) max density has an L value of 13.2 at the 75% level, but strangely the L value starts INCREASING as I continue measuring up to 100%.


How is this possible and what value/percentage should I be using for my ink density for the second calibration print ? 75% or 100%


Paul
