RE: [QuadtoneRIP] The User Guide's ideal densities

You have not missed an update of the guide. An update is long overdue and I
am collecting comments on the guide in preparation for the next revision.
I'm not quite sure what you are suggesting. See comments below:

Here, I think you are suggesting the term "Ideal Densities" be changed to
something more appropriate such as your suggestion "Linearized Densities",
correct?

Here, I think you are suggesting that there be another table (or set of
columns) that provide "perceptually correct density values". Do I understand
this correctly? If so, what are perceptually correct density ranges and how
are they determined?
