What should I change if anything to achieve a "Strong Black"
Hello Steve.
I believe what you are looking for is not only a Strong Black, but more
black.
I would suggest using GCR4, setting your black start to zero, and your
black width to max.
This will replace more of your nuetral colors with black.
By starting your black at zero you can also avoid sudden breaks ( or
steps) when the black kicks in.
This should work well with full color images. If your image is mostly
high key (light colors) it will not help
that much.
Hope this helps
