I've recently started to make some curves for my 2100 using a PrintFix Pro. I've only used a densitometer previously so I'm not that used to dealing with AB values in addition to L. I'm using a setup with 1 black, two grays (LK and LLK) and LC and LM color inks for toning. I can manage to get within +-1.5 AB accuracy across the entire curve, but beyond that is starts to become difficult to improve accuracy. Here's my current linearized curve for Permajet Alpha: 1 97,78 1,36 0,38 2 93,45 1,12 0,06 3 89,36 0,99 0,12 4 85,52 0,92 0,26 5 81,54 0,94 0,52 6 77,12 0,95 0,81 7 73,33 0,88 0,85 8 69,08 0,92 0,89 9 64,86 0,93 0,88 10 60,91 0,83 0,63 11 56,66 0,71 0,52 12 52,41 0,74 0,49 13 48,19 0,79 0,52 14 44,27 0,91 0,60 15 40,30 0,97 0,74 16 36,09 1,03 0,62 17 31,61 1,07 0,37 18 27,93 1,17 0,41 19 23,43 1,21 0,58 20 19,93 1,18 0,60 21 16,26 0,89 -0,03 To be honest it's pretty hard to visually tell the difference between the last 10 stepwedges I've printed where I tried to improve the accuracy within the 1.5 range, so I'm wondering if this is good enough.

What accuracy do you aim for when neutralizing a curve?
