If you are going to re-linearize a curve that has already been linearized,
make sure you clear out the linearized values before printing the stepwedge.
On the PC the process for re-linearizing an existing curve is:

 

1.	opening the curve in the curve creation window
2.	in the Linearize Tab, selecting the clear button
3.	saving the curve under a new name (not absolutely necessary, but a
good idea so you don't over-write the existing curve)
4.	selecting the Create Curve
5.	printing the stepwedge with the new curve
6.	measuring the densities (or L* values) for the new curve
7.	entering the new densities into the Linearization Tab
8.	doing a create curve again

 

You should now have a linearized curve.

It didn't occur to me that you could just enter new densitometer readings
and not go through the characterization of the inks.  I'll try that.
