RE: [QuadtoneRIP] Error message: Invalid linearize curve - not constantly increasing

2005-10-28 by John Moody

95/90 is very little boost, much less than I suspected.  Many people measure
a leveling off of density towards the 100% patch, your last patch really
jumps, which seems unexpected.  I'll be looking for Roy's comment on this
one....

Best regards,
John Moody

I have ink limit at 90%, boost at 95%, shadow at 12 & overlap at 16. The
paper is Permajet Alpha. The limit is quite high so I'm not sure how
much effect black boost is having anyway. I chose the high limit as the
dmax was at its greatest (1.72 absolute) on the 90% patch.

I'm using x-rite 810 for measurements and I've re-checked them and they
are consistent.

I'll have a play around with reducing the boost & the overlap as I don't
seem to get quite the dmax I did on the calibration strip.
