Which Imagesetter Curve Should I Use for Silver Printing?
Should I be using the Lenswork curve or the Folberg curve? I recently made imagesetter negs at a workshop in Santa Fe and the Folberg curve worked very nicely. Brooks Jensen has his curve worked out perfectly for his system but some users find it a bit flat in the highlights. I suspect it has to do with the fact that Brooks is PC-based (in other respects, he s a fast learner) and with the darker PC monitor gamma of 2.2, he s tweaking his images accordingly. In any case, the Folberg curve has worked better in the Macintosh workshops which are nearly all the workshops I ve taught.
