Dot Gain/Contrast - Techkon SpectroDens Manual

Dot Gain / Contrast
The function Dot Gain / Contrast is closely related to the previously described
function of dot area. Here also, first a solid density measurement is carried out and
then %-measurements follow.

In the lower part of the device display there
is shown which patch has to be measured
next.
In this case there just has been measured a
solid density patch with a density of 1.74.
The double arrow points to the "80" meaning
an 80 %-patch has to be measured next.
The round Escape button will always lead
back to the previous step in case a wrong
measurement has been made.
After the last %-measurement has been done
(in this case the 80 %-patch) additionally to
the Dot Gain value the Printing Contrast
will be calculated and displayed.
The setting for the %-patches to be mea-
sured is done in Dot Gain Setup.
Up to three percentage values can be edited.
The TECHKON TCS print control strips in-
clude two different %-patches; 40 % and 80 %.
