RE: [QuadtoneRIP] Determining Ink Limit

2005-07-12 by Tom Moore

I too struggled with this conundrum when I made my first curves. It turns
out that it's not that critical. You're mainly setting the stage for the
next print where you measure the relative densities. I would use the 65%
value. You can always adjust the limit of each ink later.
