Re: Transferring curves from Mac to Windows

Upon reflection, I'm not so sure about this statement. I've compared the master curve for my printer with the curves for a couple of commonly-used paper types. There are definite and quite different changes in shape of the seven component parts of each of these two curves. So it doesn't appear to me like they simply adjust for loading and then scale up or down to achieve linearity. What I see isn't consistent with that. It might be what we have to do if we want to relinearise ourselves, but it's not what IJM does.

When they run their linearization function the y values are adjusted up or down and to arrive at the needed y value or each ink to create the needed tone. So when I said the x- values don't change it was not entirely accurate, they do change based on whatever the overall limit is at the end of the scale, but the change is not dramatic.
