QTR Linearization Values

2008-02-08 by Tom Husband

I'm getting a very light 21 step grayscale after using Tools:Measure.
 I'm creating curves for Gold Fibre Silk using the QTR curves for
Silver Rag.  After clearing the Silver Rag values for, say, the cool
curve I print a 21 step grayscale without any values I then follow the
steps David outlined, measure and get the LINEARIZE="..." text file. 
I paste it to the QTR Linearization Values tab and create the curve. 
When I then print another 21 step grayscale using one of the created
curves it's way too light.  I calibrated the spectro using paper white
and not the tile.

What are the values the spectro produces?  The numbers I get range
from 2.07 down to 0.11.  The linearization values that come with QTR
for Silver Rag, for instance, range from 97.38 down to 5.16.  Are we
talking apples and apples here or is one Lab and the other density?

Thanks for any help.
