D-4 Print Job Parameters
Dmax
Maximum image density value.
This setting has the greatest
effect on the gray-levels closer
to black. Higher settings
increase the density of the dark
portion of the image. Lower
settings decrease the density
of the dark portion of the
image.
Typical settings range from
250 (lightest) to 310 (darkest).
Dmax should be set before
other settings (such as Gamma
and Contrast) are adjusted.
Refer to Chapter 8.
NOTE: If the Dmax setting is
higher than the film can
produce, the film’s maximum
Dmax setting will be used.
100 (lightest) to
310 (darkest)
NOTE: Values from
311 up to 400 can be
set; however, they will
be mapped to 310.
300
Dmin
Minimum image density value.
This setting has the greatest
effect on the gray-levels closer
to white. Higher settings
increase the density of the light
portion of the image. Lower
settings decrease the density
of the light portion of the image.
Typically, Dmin is left at 0.
NOTE: If the Dmin setting is
lower than the film can
produce, the film’s minimum
Dmin setting will be used
0 (lightest) to
100 (darkest)
