Oh ... so if I am getting this right, for the sake of example, I can calibrate QCND curve using either 0 or 2 grade filter during the calibration process and get the same looking image (if given image contrast is edited accordingly) but would get smoother gradation/less grain with 0 grade filter curve?
?
So to find the sweet spot, would I start from 0 filter and only go up if required contrast can't be achieved using such curve?
Or what would make me want to go above, except for the flexibility of being able to go up/down from grade 2 for example?
?
When you say...
?
If you start with low contrast light coming through the gaps between the dots, the contrast of those gaps will be lower (and give you better shadow separation) and the higher overlapping ink load with the K and Lm/M inks in the midtones and highlights will activate the higher contrast emulsion to get a full tonal range in the print ?
?
...how and when does it happen, that K/Lm/M inks will activate - does it happen automatically by the calibration process/algorithm when using grade 0 to compensate?
?
Best Regards and count me in as QCDN customer :)
