Hi, Roger,
Could you clarify what you mean by HC or HR builds? I'm not finding a reference for that terminology.
I've downloaded the data set GRACoL2006_Coated1.txt, which I will use to generate a profile at 320 TIL. I am assuming that I will want to use essentially maximum GCR with black going from 0 to 100, so that as much data as possible is held in the black channel with the other channels used to add density and toning as necessary. Seem reasonable?
Thanks for your input.
Rick Gordon
