Re: Curver creator - question about density -- still not getting it.

Given what you state regarding needing dots in the transparency to
create texture on the plate, it seems to me that you want to be using
only black ink for your application. It's possible to create a QTR
curve using black only. Another possibility is to use BO printing with
the Epson driver using methods described by Clayton Jones (on the
Black and white the print list) - although I'm not sure the Epson
driver for the 2400 supports BO printing.
