>>2210192I can't answer your questions. Especially since my eyes can't see such fine graduations. However...
I might not have gone from pure white to pure black.
I know I biased the gradient, moving the mid-point so as to increase the amount of white (or near white)
This is pure white to pure black. I created it in 16-bit RGB, then converted to 8-bit grayscale. The embedded default profile, about 600 bits, includes 20% dot gain.
2960 / 256 = 11.5625
I'd be interested in your analysis -- though I'm sure the rest of this board is already sick and tired of the space we're occupying.
I'm curious why
