Re: Basic Step tablet/UV light piesography question

"In January, I will begin to produce a new set of curves for PT/PD that are linear to UV - using a UV densitometer rather than the visible light densitometer that I used to make the Meth 3 curves."

Another consideration is that you may want to provide one or two profiles with a relatively low density range as measured by UV. Many people experience trouble with high density range negatives that put down a lot of ink on the OHP. Inks don't seem to dry as fast on OHP materials like Pictorico as on paper substrates and this can cause printing artifacts like pizza wheel marks with some printers, and it is a problem with both K7 inks and Epson K3. It is an extremely frustrating problem if you happen to have one of these printers, and the only solution is to drop the DR of your negative and adjust the process, or dump the printer.
