I reading the dot on the plates. The press is useing swop densities.
We're running kodak plates, a Screen platerite 8100 with TrueFlow(with exposure up) rip at linear, so I thought. Testing showed that without a curve we're getting:
1% is 2
1.5 is 2.3
2 is 2.7
3 is 3.5
then evens out.
But what I'm hearing is that I could run 100 plates and get 100 different readings.
How else do we soften the shadows? I'm looking fot that happy medium; to tweek it ever so slightly, but sounding like we're screwed.
Maybe just bringing down the black slightly?
From what I've given now, any more ideas?
We're looking at Fui, does that make that much difference. They would be using the same dot gain software. I'll ask but does anyone know what their tolerance is?
thanks for the responses
