As mentioned previously, all printing devices can
reach a peak Dmax/TIL and adding more colorant after
that will not increase visual density. Knowing this
value optimizes your printing process.
To be sure, there are performance limits regarding TIL in both solids
and picture elements, but the solid ink densities for a given inkset
and substrate are relevant to print contrast as well. There is a
difference between normalizing and optimizing the output of a press and
given the opportunity to break the rules, some really incredible
printing can be achieved by fooling around with SIDs and TIL.
Furthermore, if the natural gain of a press is low, then separations
made in accordance with the low gain can also produce impressive
printing if the RIP is set to allow the separations to image without
compensation.
These practices can't be part of a routine, daily operation, but it is
amazing to see how good the printing can be when you get the
opportunity to truly optimize.
