just taken as maximals. But the K being monotonically increasing (first derivative never being<0, put it this way) is something that must be always granted - UNLESS (but this doesn't seem the case) the specific K ink and paper combination actually causes density decreasing after, let's say, and high value as 80% or 90%. It's definitely not possible with the printing scheme I use. I would have limited it at linearization stage, if so.
No, this doesn't follow at all. Along the neutral axis, grey can be made up of a wide range of CMYK values. There is nothing to stop a light grey being made up of little K and lots of CMY, while a slightly darker grey is made up of lots of K and little CMY. Graeme Gill.
