Hi Bruce,

Yes that clarifies. I always use the black only for the first step and ignore the others. That one is the most critical as its load determines Dmax on one hand but it is also the one most likely to be overloaded. Most likley you'll find that the black saturates already at a lower level then the other inks. Using a higher ink load based on the other inks would overload the black

Good luck.

Joost

I printed the Ink Separation Test Page as instructed in his guide and then Iooked at the various lines - black, light black and the 5 color lines to determine the patch where the paper is covered with all the inks.  My question is -- Do I just look at the black and light black lines OR do I also look at the 5 color lines?   I think the answer is ---look at just the black and light black lines to pick a % value for the next step.
