It has always seemed to me that % dot gain was just that (%dot gain).
If I have a 50% dot,
and get 20% gain ...
will I not end up with a 60% dot (NOT 70%) ?
When you see "20% dot gain" it's referring to the gain at the midtone,
which is highest (so 50%). So 20% dot gain means a 50% dot prints as
though it were 70%.
I think 20% gain at 10% would give me a 12% dot.
If you have 20% dot gain (at 50%), the dot gain at 10% would likely be
around 5%. So 10% prints as 15%. But it depends on the printing
process. That's why merely saying 20% (implies at 50% dot) is only a
general idea of what's going on, and is primarily a process control
aimpoint. If you maintain the 50% dot's dot gain, you are maintaining
it at other percentages as well. Whereas for the purpose of making
separations, more information will produce better seps.
