Evaluating Test Pages
After you process the exposure test page, evaluate it. Use a densito-
meter to determine which test exposure is the best for your purposes.
Densitometers
There are two types of densitometers.
• Transmission Densitometer
Measures how much light passes through processed film. Use for
evaluating film.
• Reflection Densitometer
Measures how much light is reflected by an opaque image. Use for
evaluating photographic paper, plate material, or press print.
Make sure that you know how to use your densitometer before you
begin the evaluation procedure.
Set the Exposure
After you evaluate a test page and determine the optimum exposure for
each combination of media and resolution, you need to set the expo-
sure values. This procedure is described in Chapter 3: Using the Con-
trol Panel.
