AccuRIP and the dot gain setup....WTH!!!!
middletownink:
about 6 wks ago we got our new film output printer. Epson 4900. I am now finally getting around to linearizing it. I have the readings from a densitometer. When I put the numbers in I get a nice looking curve but my films print out like this.
The one on the right is my original print the one on the left is after I put in my new numbers. I went through the "knowledge base" online and the articles are not very helpful with this aspect of the dot gain.
Has anyone else run into this issue?
Homer:
yup. same issues I had. I sent my films off to Pierre and I dropped the numbers in and I still couldn't dial it in. accurip really isn't too accurate. I need to make the change to film maker, one of these days.

very well could be, I know the ink and film had something to do with it too. I'm at the 2880 dpi setting now and it appears better but the 80% range and up goes to mud.

try their forum or online tech support. It is supposed to be free!
