Re: Creating Curves for 2400

Tom,

this is a different dan.

thanks for the clarification. 

i've always wondered about this part of the procedure because i think the instruction's 
wording on the mac os x side seem to imply that i should identify the ink limit of each ink. 
eventually i've decided that the instruction was referring only to K ink's limit. identify this 
limit and then print the ink separation again for the next step, the ink partitioning. when i 
got this straighten out everything else fell into place.
