Re: [QuadtoneRIP] Re: Iterative linearization

2008-01-17 by Roy Harrington

The QTR linearization is not per channel so overlaps of different inks
don'tchange.
 So there's no iterative issue and it isn't possible.
I think the biggest variables are the printer and the reader.   The 21x4
wedge is
the most effective because it'll average 4 patches and readings for each
step.
It works very well as long as there aren't a lot of wiggles in the basic
output -- you
can't fix that very well with a linearization correction.
